[Feature Request] Force Touch Trackpad support for XD (like Apple Pages)

What's really nice in pages and Mac, is the pressure senstive trackpad.

 

In pages, you can press deeper (force click) than a standard click:

- on a group, to quickly open the group and automatically select the object in the group. (or in other words, skip the double-double-click to get into the group to select the item in the group)

- on an image, to instantly crop it

 

It would be great if this was implemented into Adobe XD as I find myself clicking about 7 times to edit something within a group.

 

Another nice touch that would be nice to have is trackpad haptics. When objects snap in pages, (and in Premiere Pro too), the trackpad produces a soft click, as if you can feel it snap.

    I got to this page becasue I Googled why Apple force-touch Look Up (contextual dictionary/thesaurus) doesn't work in XD. (It opens and dismisses immediately. Could it be related to XD not supporting other native OSX inputs such as custom Shortcut keys, or Character Viewer for typing glyphs and emojis?)

     

    But I need to point out that the link in the "Correct Answer" here points to a feature request for swipe-gesture support in Prototypes. However, Yuukio was asking for advanced gesture support for the designer — in Design mode — not gesture support for the prototype.

     

    Meanwhile, yuuiko stated they wanted to "get into the group to select the item in the group". You can do this by command-clicking an element within a group.

    Those are some good ideas, but the proper place to make feature requests is https://adobexd.uservoice.com There you can search to see if a feature has been requested (if so, please upvote it), and if not you can create a new feature request. Then others can upvote to add their voice and you'll get status updates as Adobe reviews feature requests.
