it's a ludicrous idea

you are wanting code that knows " why" you just tapped.....

good luck writing your patch - I am done here

"Code cannot tell when you are in a menu or in reading mode? And you still have interface buttons for paging within menus, if that was even necessary.". If interface buttons take you up or down a line in the menu, where's the EXIT button for going BACK

so I AM LOOKING AT A Word on a Page, WANTING to GET A DICTIONARY DEFINITION, BUT I cant touch or tap the word. what mode is that and how do you detect it, in code?
Kobo can, of course, tell the difference between turning a page in different contexts. Kobo knows what mode it's in and what's onscreen. You could disable page turning taps while still allowing tapping for exit buttons, etc.

You obviously don't know anything about programming, so perhaps in the future you should be more careful about sharing your opinions about what code can and cannot do.
