Two-finger Forward/Back gestures

[codygarver]

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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlBmWgvee-M

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.

Hi there,

Something like a default libinput profile with a simple xdotool config would be the best way to go forward. Does anyone have any better suggestions?

I believe this is a copypaste of an old Launchpad issue. Since that time, Gtk.Gesture became a thing

One year later... I still would love this!

I think this should really be 3-finger gestures, as that's usually what's used for forward/back. 2-finger does horizontal scrolling, and going forward/back should be allowed while mid-way in horizontal scrolling.

Just updating that it seems that nowadays the easiest thing to do here is use Hdy.Deck once LibHandy 1.0 is released

I think this best left for the Gtk4 port now
