Bug Description
Currently:-
single finger swipe left & right = move cursor left and right
single finger swipe up and down = scroll up and down
two finger swipe up and down = up and down (scroll through history).
I propose we swap the up/down ones to be:-
single finger swipe left, right, up, down = move cursor left, right, up, down
two finger swipe = scroll up and down (page up/down).
EDIT (Adding some information from IRC):
The reason why we can accept inconsistencies between the terminal and other apps on the platform in regard to scrolling is that without this change navigating inside apps like nano is very inaccurate and non-intuitive.

I think I found a huge issue in the swipe detection code which just wasn't visible yet.
Whenever the second finger of a multi touch gesture is put onto the screen, that is interpreted as a huge swipe. The same applies to when it is released …
