Extension summary
Touch20 - Touchscreen support for Roll20
Touch20 is an extension for Google Chrome which adds touchscreen support to Roll20. Features:
- Drag and Drop your characters to move them
- Pan the map with two fingers to move the viewport
- Pinch with two fingers to zoom in or out - this will only work correctly if you select "Use Scroll to Zoom" in "My Settings".
- Long-press to activate the right-click menu
- Enlarged the left-hand toolbar to make the icons easier to hit using the touch controls
- Full support for both fingers and styluses (pens)
- [New in 1.1.0] Touch also works in dialogs (i.e. Turn Order, Character sheets, ...) and the assets menu
- [New in 1.2.0] Hides the player names at the bottom of the viewport if the setting "Player video/avatar size" is set to "Names only" (to save space on smaller touchscreen devices)
- [New in 1.3.0] All modifier keys (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, META) are now forwarded correctly and work as if you were using a mouse. Thus drawing circles is now possible!

No longer seems to work on roll20 on my Surface Pro 8, unsure if its just a me issue but its persisted over a fresh windows and chrome/Touch20 reinstall. Used to work a year or so ago but now pen does nothing on roll20 :(
Really solid extension. Just wish there was a way to use a stylus to control the built in Roll20 drawing tools. Drawing with a mouse yields some pretty gnarly maps. :)
I paired this with the Kiwi Browser on my Android Tablet. The touch zoom works beautifully!! I'm very happy!!
