Swipe right and left with three fingers gestures won't work in Safari.

When I'm trying to use the right and left swipe with three fingers gestures in Safari nothing happens, they won't work. Other gestures work fine though. Fix it, please.

MacOS: 12.6.4 (21G526) Jitouch: 2.82.1 Safari: 15.6.1 (17613.3.9.1.16)

Both Safari and Firefox have built-in three-finger swipe gestures, so Jitouch's three-finger swipes are disabled to prevent double-gestures, see https://github.com/JitouchApp/Jitouch/issues/45#issuecomment-1304409492.

If you want to use those gestures to navigate, I'd recommend using the macOS's built-in swipe gestures. Are you trying to bind the three finger gestures to something other than forward and back navigation?

@aaronkollasch I don't want to use these gestures native gestures in Safari for navigation, I'd rather reassign them. They can be much more useful when using them for window management. With any other window I'm using them the next way: 'swipe left with three fingers' –> maximize window left, 'swipe right with three fingers' –> maximize window left. So is there any way to do it? As far as I know, Multitouch and BetterTouchTool apps don't have this issue.

I think it's possible we could include a check for defaults read -g "AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls" and disable the block if that setting is disabled. Are you using the built-in two-finger gestures to navigate?

@aaronkollasch No, I don't. It's disabled. Screenshot 2023-04-05 at 06 07 05
