Overview

Use 2 finger swipes to control your browser. Supports 8 directions with configurable actions. Tablet optimized.

A device with a multi-touch screen (such as a tablet) is required. Supported actions include: - open a new tab - close current tab - go to left tab - go to right tab - go back in current page - go forward in current page - duplicate current tab - reload current tab The default configuration is: - open new tab on "up" gesture - close current tab on "down" gesture - focus left tab on diagonal "top-left" gesture or diagonal "bottom-left" gesture - focus right tab on diagonal "bottom-right" gesture or diagonal "top-right" gesture The gesture is only recognized if your fingers move in parallel in the same direction. If you do "pinches", it will not respond, because the pinch is reserved for zooming the page. You can also configure how many fingers are required to perform gestures in case 2 fingers is too easy to accidentally activate. You can also configure how long the fingers need to travel (in pixels) before a gesture is recognized. The default is 110 pixels which is suitable for medium-sized devices. You don't need to lift your fingers at the end for the gesture to recognize. Just keep moving them in the desired direction and once it reaches the threshold the gesture will activate automatically.

Needs sensitivity / tolerance settings, otherwise it's unusable. I tried the same gesture over 20 times on demo screen, and it only got recognized once. In general the paralel movement idea isn't bad, but it's set way too strict at the moment (at least for my device), and I see no way to adjust it.

AWESOME!! Just what I was looking for to close tabs in the Edge browser using a Dell touchscreen tablet w/no keyboard/shortcuts attached (Windows 11). I didn't get the hang of it the first time around, but I did switch to the Edge Dev Browser and messed around a bit more and bam! I did change the 'distance travelled' down to '50' and learned to keep my 2 fingers completely together (no open space) to complete the gesture. Short and sweet, and I'm closing tabs crazy-easy now. And thanks fo... Show more
