Touch zones and gestures on every screen

ReferenceHectare 5 firmware · 1.0.20Draft

What each touch gesture does — on the home screen, the second home screen, the working screens, in menus, on the number pad and in windows.

The Hectare 5 has no buttons; every action is a gesture on the screen. Each screen listens only to its own gestures and ignores the rest. With “Buttons sound” set to “Yes”, every gesture the screen takes is confirmed with a click.
