Touch lock shortcut

adiik 28 days ago

Is it possible to turn the touch lock on and off using a shortcut? I know that you can completely turn off the touch or lock the device using a shortcut, but it would be more convenient to use the touch lock for me. I often want to have the touch locked, but at the same time I would like to be able to light up the screen with a touch and be able to unlock it with one hand - all of this is provided by the touch lock function, but to turn it on/off I have to delve into the menu, I would prefer to do it with a shortcut.

I have a Shortcut assigned to lock/unlock touch for situations where I know touch may accidentally activate the screen (shower, pool time, time with children who hage a tendency to touch anything within their grasp). For me, the shortcut is pressing the Start + Up button at the same time, but you can select something else that you want.

I also have such a shortcut and I currently use it. But I would prefer a shortcut to touch lock instead. As I wrote, you can then wake up the screen with a touch and easily turn it off for a moment by dragging the padlock down with one finger. Completely turning off touch is inconvenient for me.

Top right and bottom left button at the same time.

This completely disables touch, and does not enable touch lock - these are two completely different functions.

Touch disabled:
- you cannot illuminate the screen by touching it,
- you cannot temporarily disable it with one finger.

Touch lock:
- touching the screen illuminates it,
- you can temporarily disable it by swiping the padlock with one finger.
