"Touch" shortcut shortcut is set to START+DOWN button combo.
Issues:
- Touch screen is not enabled via shortcut unless the screen is cycled on/off.
Video demonstration attached
Fenix 8 AMOLED, 43mm, FW ver. 13.37
Additional notes:
- if shortcut is triggered while Controls menu (circular menu) is open - pictogram does not correctly reflect ON/OFF status
- if shortcut triggered while an activity is running it affects activity's setting rather than global touchscreen status
- e.g. if touchscreen is enabled -> start an activity (e.g. walking) -> shortcut "touchscreen" to disable touchscreen -> hod LIGHT to go to controls or get to main watchface or any other non-activity screen ->touchscreen is disabled
