Feature Request: Add Forward/Back Swipe Touchscreen gestures #2095

Open klundry opened 8 years ago

klundry commented 8 years ago

Browsing with Qupzilla on 2 in 1 tablet style device navigating web pages is not ideal. When trying to scroll your finger selects things on the page instead of scrolling.

Is it possible to detect when the input method is the touchscreen instead of the mouse or touchpad and interpret that dragging motion as a scroll rather than selecting text on the page?

So, I just tested this again and I can now scroll using the touchscreen with the expected outcome. Scrolling and tapping links works as expected and pinch to zoom even works! Objects on the page are no longer being selected when I try to scroll. I switched to libinput on this computer so I think that may be the reason? Can someone else with a touchscreen confirm this?

The only thing missing is being able to swipe the page to the right for back and to the left for forward.

Yes, libinput may be the reason.

As for the swipe gestures, it has to be done in QupZilla itself.

Ok. I changed the title of the issue to focus it on the gestures instead of overall touchscreen functionality.
