Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

webkitmouseforcewillbegin is a proprietary, WebKit-specific event which is fired before the mousedown event. Its main use is that it can be Event.preventDefault()ed in order to prevent the system from performing its default action in response to this event. It is part of the Force_Touch_events feature.
