SDL_HINT_PEN_TOUCH_EVENTS(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SDL_HINT_PEN_TOUCH_EVENTS — bestie, this is the variable that decides whether your pen events are gonna spawn synthetic touch events too. Like, do they get a little touch-event bestie of their own or not. That's the whole vibe. 🖊️✨

• "0" — pen events will not generate touch events. nope. not happening. the pen stays a pen. 🚫
• "1" — pen events will generate touch events. (this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get 🫶)
