Comment (by antoniou79):

 So, I admit I'm a bit confused about what is the issue with the virtual
 keyboard now.

 I originally thought that it was that "touching" the "Esc" button on the
 virtual keyboard would hide the virtual keyboard, but I've just tested
 that (on ScummVM 2.9 dev build, but I don't think we've changed virtual
 keyboard behavior since 2.8.1 at all) and the virtual keyboard is not
 being hidden. Furthermore, the key is set as repeatable so you can hold it
 "down" (aka keep touching on it) and it will skip cutscenes/animations
 etc, as long as the engine and game support skipping animations using Esc
 (or support a key mapping for this action that the user has set to Esc).

 Mapping actions to long touch events is not something we're currently
 considering, as it would break the current hardcoded differentiation of
 the long touch event based on the duration of touching (so that can be
 interpreted as either simple tap (left click), long tap (right click) and
 longer tap (middle click)). You are allowed however to map those touch
 events to a mappable action by using ScummVM's keymapper, although
 personally I wouldn't recommend mapping actions to left click or right
 click which are probably also used already for something else in a point
 and click adventure. But you can do it, as long as you're certain about
 it, and you can always revert to the default mapping anyway.

 So, again, I am unsure what is asked here. It also seems to me that this
 is more of a "Feature Request" rather than a "Defect" but I'm still
 confused as to what is requested, that is not in the app already.
