Touch Input Support

[karima-xyz]

Currently, many behavior of the element assume mouse input is being used to interact with the chart. I propose to support touch interaction too. I know this will be quite an undertaking, but I think it will be nice feature to have in the long run. I'm thinking of tablet-sized device that can be used to manage project using this library.

My idea to approach this would be to refactor the code base and maintain the current functionality first. I see that VueUse is already a dependency so we can leverage many of the utility function there to reduce event-and-state management. However, since there is no data on how many uses this library, it is quite hard to assess the priority for this or even if this is needed at all. The counter-argument is that project management is quite complex so user usually do this kind of work on a device with mouse and keyboard anyway.

Thank you for opening this discussion.
Certainly a refactoring on event management is something I have been considering for some time, but very complex. Regardless of the number of users, it is in my interest at the moment to maintain and improve the library.
I just wanted to point out that some basic events such as Gantt pan or bar drag already support touch.

And thank you for the hard work! If I may add, maybe you could pitch in the list of behavior that you have on your mind? I would like to help where I can

Yes gladly, at the moment I do not have a big list, also because the library allows many things, but some changes or additions I have in mind.
