I am thinking that the touch features are a bit underutilized right now.
Termius for example binds double-tap to "tab", which is convenient for tab completion on the shell.
Currently, this is what we have:
Gesture
Terminal
Notes App
Single Tap Near Cursor
Opens context menu
Opens Context Menu
Single Tap elsewhere
Nothing
Move cursor towards this place
Long tap anywhere
Open Context Menu
Moves to location, shows glass
Double tap
Selects word
Move towards tap location and word selects
Triple tap
Nothing
Selects entire line/paragraph
My concern with implementing "Move to Location" by default, is that there is no reliable way of determining if the app is in a mode where sending the cursor movement escape sequences will get us there. It is easy to programmatically send the target, but might do more damage than intended based on the app, specially when this is bound to single tap.
So I think that "Move to Location" with simple gestures is a bad idea, but might consider it if we have an external keyboard and we can use a modifier (Option-tap for example).
The question is whether I should drop the double-tap to be word-select and bind it to tab or not.
The triple tap seems like an easy choice: just implement it.
