<pre>Observation: The ability to differentiate between a horizontal scroll and a
horizontal swipe is not currently supported. All 2-finger gestures are
reported as scrolling events.
Impact: This enhancement will facilitate a common use of the horizontal,
2-finger swipe gesture to navigate back and forward in browsers and other
applications that utilize the same type of navigation such as Gnome Files. The
two finger swipe is quite common on MacOS and is more natural for web browsing
as one normally uses vertical 2-finger scrolling and Vertical 2-finger swipes
to navigate slow or quickly up/down the page and Horizontal 2-Finger swipes to
go back or forward in browing bread-crumb trail.
Recommend that the gesture recognizer at a minimum impliments the option to
have horizontal gestures for more natural navigation. While I believe it could
be determined by speed and duration; at a minimum the option to have one or the
other (horizontal scroll or horizontal swipe gesture).
Related is the ability to report edge in swipes similar to how MacOS impliments
the two finger edge in to reveal a side-pannel. This may already be present.
(I would like to have the ability to configure the gestures and actions to be
as close as possible between MacOS and the Linux DE of choice. Linux is the
master of personal customization in most areas -- and hopefully soon in
Multi-touch also.</pre>
