--touch-slop-distance

What does --touch-slop-distance do?

Overrides touch slop distance for gesture detection. The touch slop distance is the maximum distance from the starting point of a touch sequence that a gesture can travel before it can no longer be considered a tap. Scroll gestures can only begin after this distance has been travelled. The switch value is a floating point number that is interpreted as a distance in pixels.
