Bug Description

Usually we have Menu positioned in upper-right corner. It's far far away from my thumb (especially on Meizu MX4)

We already have a nice option in form of swiping from the bottom up.

Can we move menu functionality to this gesture?
With the thumb moving from the bottom of the screen up (or even like a curve from bottom to the right side of the screen), - we open menu with the items easily available by the thumb.

Is it possible to distinguish between 1.swipe-right-up; 2.swipe-bottom-to-right (or left for left-handed usage)?

What if the page has bottom edge content as well? The first part of the gesture you proposed will be taken by the bottom edge recognition, so that will flip up as well...

Note: The bottom edge gesture pattern will be productised OTA9 through a component called BottomEdge by the UbuntuUI Toolkit.
