Shouldn't Sensors have an "Off" for Touch as well?

[RaphaelDDL]

Hello there,

As title, shouldn't Sensors have an "Off" for Touch as well, just like Geolocation and Orientation?

I mean, sometimes we are using the Mobile Emulator for the solely purpose of checking the responsiveness of the website, not for touch events.

Would it be a nice addition, to have an "Off" which would make mouse back to the normal arrow.

Opinions?

You can set it via this menu:

Thanks for the reply Kayce. 

How you make that option appear?

It doesn't show up in neither my Canary or Stable

P.S.: Offtopic but I just saw your console and just noticed that now there's this sidebar.

Takes more space than the old filter, but looks cool. Lot better than the select, though :D

Select Add Device Type from the menu:

I took that first screenshot in Canary. Maybe we're now exposing the Device Type menu by default.

Glad you think that the Sidebar is a step in the right direction. It's coming in Chrome 64: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/11/devtools-release-notes#console-sidebar

Yep, I checked on Canary (mine is 65). I should've just straight test every option in that select rather than bothering you lol.

That option made it appear, thank you.






Btw, after I saw your console, I checked on my Canary :)

I still think the old filter (the same as currently in Network) is still the most efficient: takes little space (one line), easy to pick single or multiple options.

The current takes less space, but needs a lot more clicks. 

I'd say this sidebar is in the middle, takes more space (has a min-width) but is easier to look and understand. While can't multi-select, it makes up by grouping by file source, which might be helpful (while console still points to the correct sourcemap :D ).
