'touch' detection is invalid

[nichoth]

Using this on a laptop computer, and I have set

            anchors.options = {
                visible: 'touch'
            }

However, it is detecting that a laptop is a touch device. When I look at the source code and try some in the browser console, !!window.TouchEvent is returning true, which is here in the source code — https:/bryanbraun/anchorjs/blob/master/anchor.js#L52

Thanks for the issue and PR. I hope to be able to take a closer look at this next week. 👍

For such an excellent plugin, I would like to share my demo, my touch can be used well! There are also hover prompts and one-click copy (he can jump to the anchor by clicking on it).
and thank you @bryanbraun

Hey, @nichoth, thanks for reporting the issue.

This issue has come up before and been discussed in detail here: #168

In short, your fix addresses some common device use-cases but breaks others because there's no reliable way to detect a touchscreen. 😞

Ultimately, this touch feature is misleading and I plan to remove it entirely in a future version of AnchorJS.

My recommendation is that if you want the older behavior of this, you can use version 4.2.2 as described here.

Ok thanks for checking it out. I am using my fork currently, and that has been working for me.
