[lively-kernel] Right Click on mobile devices

[Fabian Bornhofen]

Hi -

glad to hear you're moving forward!
My feeling is also that a gesture might be too hard to discover. I'd
just give double tap or touch and hold a shot and then see which is
less likely to be triggered by accident. And, of course, which feels
better. We can still think of ways to lock morphs.

Best,
Fabian
