Pull request overview
This PR adds position details (local and global coordinates, device kind) to the on_tap event in the GestureDetector control. Previously, the on_tap event provided no position information, making it inconsistent with other tap events like on_tap_down and on_tap_up.
Changes:
- Modified Dart implementation to capture and pass TapDownDetails to the tap event
- Updated Python type annotation from
ControlEventHandlertoEventHandler[TapEvent["GestureDetector"]]for type consistency
