TouchUETrackpad-friendly graph navigation for Unreal Engine
TouchUE fixes laptop trackpad navigation inside Unreal Engine graph editors, starting with Blueprint graphs and extending cleanly to other supported graph canvases. Tune the experience through editor settings.

Built for Blueprints graphs
Use your touchpad instead of a mouse on your laptop.
Works in Blueprint, Material, and Niagara graphs.
Simple pan to move and pinch to zoom, with optional Ctrl plus pan for zooming.
Adjustable settings for sensitivity and inversion.
Natural Canvas Movement
Trackpad navigation that feels native
On supported graph surfaces, scrolling can be used to move around the graph more directly, while keeping Ctrl plus scroll available as a clear zoom gesture.
User Control
Users can enable or disable graph categories, control pan and zoom sensitivity, invert directions, enable experimental horizontal pan, and turn on debug logging when diagnosing behavior.
Panning
On supported graph canvases, TouchUE can use scroll input to move the graph instead of leaving navigation entirely to default mouse-wheel behavior. In practice, that means vertical scrolling can move the graph up and down, and horizontal trackpad movement can move sideways when that input path is available and enabled.
Zooming
Pinch to zoom, or Ctrl + scroll to zoom
Quick Start
Five-minute first run
Install the TouchUE plugin into your project's Plugins folder.
Enable the plugin in Edit > Plugins and restart the editor if prompted.
Open a Blueprint graph and test panning with trackpad scroll input.
