I got the plugin and it seems to be working, but I am wondering if the switchable two handed weapons can be used on a touchscreen version of the game? There won't be a shift button on there.

Hey there.

I'm not sure how one would set this up, to be honest. I'm not at all familiar with how touch inputs are handled in the first place, and since touching the item itself would simply select it, I can't think of any other touch action that wouldn't also be touching the item. Even something like touching the icon on the item's name wouldn't work because it'd still be part of the items selection rectangle. Perhaps some sort of onscreen button might work, but again, I'm not really experienced enough with how touch controls work.

I'd say the best bet would be to find a plugin that allows you to map keyboard controls to buttons on screen, and use it that way for now.

One option for a switchable two handed weapon using a touchscreen could be to just assume the weapon is being used as a two handed weapon when there is no other shield or weapon being used. One hand is empty. It would also be a bit easier to use on the computer.

I think that is how Final Fantasy 5 does it when using the double handed skill, which is a game you can play on mobile devices.

Perhaps.

In retrospect I can probably also make it so that it optionally gives a 'switch' option at the top of the equipment list when you select the weapon, much like the 'remove' option in EquipCore.

I'll see what I can do on my backshifts in the next couple of days.
