There are various issues related to touch simulation as it's implemented today, since it's more of a hack that makes fake events in JS.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this.

Pinch to zoom was implemented in RDM, but only works with a trackpad as I understand, meaning you can't use this feature with a keyboard and mouse. May I suggest something like a SHIFT+Click&Drag option for desktop users?

Simulated Finger #1 = the location of the cursor when shift was first depressed.
Simulated Finger #2 = location of the active cursor while holding shift+click.

Simulated Finger #1 releases when user lets go of SHIFT.

You could render circles over the viewport to indicate on-screen where the active touch points are located.
