emacs menu doesn't work with touch controls
Has anyone managed to get the menu in emacs working with touch controls? In my experience while I can tap on the initial buttons in the menu, the rest I have to navigate by keyboard.
I can navigate the menu using just the mouse on my desktop, so I have a feeling this is a problem with touch controls. Perhaps the menu makes the assumption that the pointer has to hover over the item first before it can be clicked. It makes sense of the menu's current behavior: when I tap on it, it activates what's highlighted which is not what is tapped.

How can mouse support be enabled in terminal Emacs?
How can mouse support be enabled in an Emacs terminal session started with emacs -nw? Is there a keyboard shortcut or a flag to do this? If not how can it be done in terminal emulators? I use Guake.
Nah, that's already enabled
It's just not responding appropriately to taps.
Are there any emacs users here who would know how to bind scroll up and scroll down to up and down in the menu? At least this way I can use touch to navigate the menu even though tap isn't going to work right.
idk about emacs but neovim uses ^E and ^Y
