keyedPointerInputModifier

    fun MyComposable(parameter: String) {
        Box(
            Modifier.fillMaxSize().pointerInput(parameter) {
                // This entire pointerInput block will restart from the beginning
                // if and when `parameter` changes, since it's used as a key in
                // the creation of the `pointerInput` modifier
                detectTapGestures { performAction(parameter) }
            }

                    // pointerInput suspend block by rememberUpdatedState, and will always
