Two finger swipe (left) in windows is back button. Any way to implement it in linux?(fedora-gnome)

I'm talking about trackpad gestures the same way swipe from ends work as go back in android. Windows had a back gesture (3 finger swipe in gnome swaps workspaces) [Solved]

This works for me out of the box on KDE with Firefox, but it has to be the Wayland session. It's not implemented for X11.

GNOME should use Wayland by default and I don't expect it to work differently, but maybe this gives you some hints...

It works for me on i3 which is an X11 wm but I think it's only firefox.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that's implemented by the browser itself.

Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE's feature set.

Make a meme telling "this is literally impossible I am switching back to ChromeOS" and you will get all the answers

Less likely to get RTFM from people who remember what it's like to love a computer not obsess over it I suppose

Thanks. TIL best to ask Linux questions in meme groups for fast, reliable and free support.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

asking in support group can lead to some annoying answers in my experience. I rarely get the answer I want, mostly just people questioning why I want to do the thing I'm trying to do in the first place, or mansplaining the thing that I already know. the straight to the point -answers are rare

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It was setup that way out of the box for me

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Just tested it after never using it before, it works for me by default on Firefox on GNOME using Wayland on Manjaro.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes but I guess they mean everywhere?

Always make a statement in opposition to the question you want asked. I think Ubuntu is the best distro for web development.

Slackware. You are either a dumbass for trying it or it will cure you of being a dumbass.

i guess it's application specific, i can go back in history in firefox

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

in firefox(wayland) i wipe left to right and in go back

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I can confirm, I get the same behavior.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Its the default behaviour for firefox. Normally you have to disable with by tweaking browser.gesture.swipe.left/right in about:config
