Bug Description
It should be possible to go forward and back by using a two-finger horizontal swipe gesture.
This is freaking awesome in Safari on Lion. Check it out: http://
Bonus points for 1:1 finger tracking and an animation.
Massive bonus points for doing this in a way that we can easily copy to other apps.

- Forward/Back with gestures + Two-finger Forward/Back gestures |
How would applications even be able to handle that, there is nothing like that out for gnome 3.8.
I suggest that we include touchegg, but its already to late for this cycle.

With this gesture, it might make scrolling sideways impossible. Why not use three finger swipe?
Cameron Norman (cameronnemo) wrote : | #4 |
Observing Linux Bobcat's point that this would obviously break horizontal scrolling with two finger scrolling, should this be (re)assigned to UX?
Personally, I think three finger swipe is good.

In Mac OS, horizontal scroll is still respected and it only activates if you cannot scroll further.
If we want to keep a hierarchy (1 finger pointer, 2 finger app, 3 finger shell) it wouldn't make sense to jump to three fingers. And I think we want to use as few fingers as possible. 4 finger swipe to change desktops would be a pain.

Okay, so the Gestures branch just landed in Gtk 3.14 and the gestures developer has example code for swiping (that doesn't inhibit horizontal scrolling!). Check it out: https:/

Hi, fellows
I don't even know if this is the right place for it, and I am sorry if it is not, but I use elementary for a while now, and used touchegg which you seem to be looking into. It has an issue when it comes to gestures over plain desktop, since it counts on gestures being made over a window to work properly. I stopped using it and now use fusuma (https:/
Adding Granite here, since there is NavigationBox
