Describe the bug
Touchscreen is often unresponsive. It takes multiple presses to choose a menu option.
Would it be possible to add alternative methods to navigate for eg. keyboard in GUI?
I really enjoy this FW. The best I've used so far, but navigation is difficult.

Which device are you using
LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using
v0.9.10

To Reproduce
Turn on device
Menu button for eg. Mgmt -> BLE takes multiple (4-6) presses.

Could it be device specific?

I have not such issues.

(I have somewhat a contrary annoyance: When I use the trackball and scroll up, it is just to easy to accidentally trigger the "Map" button.)

I used touchscreen fix from this repo: https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-Deck/tree/master/firmware

  1. Flashed firmware first time
  2. Flashed fix at 0x0 address
  3. Flashed firmware again - non merged version (without clearing settings)
  4. Now touchscreen works properly.

Apparently on some tdeck versions touchscreen doesn't work properly without this fix

Some T-Deck units need the LilyGO touch-fix image at address 0x0, then the firmware again.
