Feature request: switch behavior for tap and long press on comments. (lemmy.ml)

I came over from Boost for Reddit so the UI on Jerboa is relatively familiar. That said, as it stands a tap collapses a comment while long pressing a comment opens the action bar.

I was wondering if we could get an option to customize tap and long press behavior?

Obviously this is a very nitpicky behavior so I understand if dev resources are better spent elsewhere.

Please! The tapping to hide is super annoying. Someone else suggested swipe to hide which makes a lot more sense to me. I tapped an image expecting it to enlarge and instead it and the whole comment was hidden. That's completely ass backwards.

Is there a way to enlarge an image in a comment? I've fallen into the same trap of hiding it when wanting a better look too

Agree, tap to expand and hold to hide makes more sense to me too.

Strongly agree. I keep accidentally tapping on things and then having to spend several seconds re-figuring out where I left off.

Yes please. In Sync it was the same as you describe. Long press collapsed the comment and tap brought up the action bar.

There's an open issue on Github for this. Could see what's been talked about there and provide your input!

Woah, I didn't even know long-press did anything. Thank you. 😁
