There is a free input method for Android which does have modifier keys. I think it's called ``Any Soft Keyboard'' or some such. > perhaps we should step back and ask "How Can Emacs Leverage Touch Input" > in a broader sense, and use that as the motivation to do some real UI > innovation We already have touch screen support for the X builds, but the events are not bound to anything at the moment. Touchscreen support for Android is being worked on, but I think it will also require a lot of Lisp for gesture recognition, et cetera. Does anyone want to write that? Thanks.
