Element: webkitmouseforcewillbegin event

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Safari for macOS fires the non-standard webkitmouseforcewillbegin event at an Element before firing the initial mousedown event.

This offers the opportunity to tell the system not to trigger any default Force Touch actions if and when the click turns into a Force Touch events.

To instruct macOS not to engage any default Force Touch actions if the user apply enough pressure to activate a Force Touch event, call preventDefault() on the webkitmouseforcewillbegin event object.

webkitmouseforcewillbegin is a proprietary, WebKit-specific event. It is part of the Force Touch events feature.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("webkitmouseforcewillbegin", (event) => { })

onwebkitmouseforcewillbegin = (event) => { }

MouseEvent.button Read only: The button number that was pressed (if applicable) when the mouse event was fired.
MouseEvent.buttons Read only: The buttons being pressed (if any) when the mouse event was fired.
MouseEvent.clientX Read only: The X coordinate of the mouse pointer in viewport coordinates.
MouseEvent.clientY Read only: The Y coordinate of the mouse pointer in viewport coordinates.
MouseEvent.ctrlKey Read only: Returns true if the control key was down when the mouse event was fired.
MouseEvent.layerX Non-standard Read only: Returns the horizontal coordinate of the event relative to the current layer.
MouseEvent.layerY Non-standard Read only: Returns the vertical coordinate of the event relative to the current layer.
MouseEvent.metaKey Read only: Returns true if the meta key was down when the mouse event was fired.
MouseEvent.movementX Read only: The X coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the position of the last mousemove event.
MouseEvent.movementY Read only: The Y coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the position of the last mousemove event.
MouseEvent.offsetX Read only: The X coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the position of the padding edge of the target node.
MouseEvent.offsetY Read only: The Y coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the position of the padding edge of the target node.
