Long tap doesn't work on Raspberry Pi touchscreen

Question

I'm using HammerJS in an Angular app running in Electron on a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen. I want my user to be able to tap for as long as they want (especially for old people). Here is my Angular configuration:

export class HammerConfig extends HammerGestureConfig {
  options = {
    domEvents: true,
    inputClass: Hammer.MouseInput,
    touchAction: 'auto'
  };
  overrides = {
    swipe: { direction: Hammer.DIRECTION_ALL },
    tap: {
      interval: 0,
      time: 5000
    }
  };
}

In my understanding, I should be able to tap for 5 sec and still have the tap event triggered. Unfortunately, nothing changes. What's wrong in my code?

Answer 1

I simply used touchend to make it work. The tap event just doesn't work for most people. The time option has no impact on user experience.
