Do we already have this jQuery plugin in core? Maybe I'm thinking of something else we added with admin bar... Yes, either way. This would be a valuable addition!
I have now ported the colorbox_swipe module to backdrop https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/colorbox_swipe and this uses two additional jQuery libraries, jQuery.event.swipe and jQuery.event.move, but when used in this module a swipe merely causes the image to change, it does not slide the image left or right.
The views_slideshow_galleria module (already ported to Backdrop https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/views_slideshow_galleria) uses the Galleria library which includes swipe functionality and produces a gallery that does slide images left or right which is perhaps better.
It would be good to add the jQuery plugin TouchSwipe so that users with touch sensitive screens can swipe through a sequence of photos.
A method is described at https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/issues/395.
D7 has an issue at https://www.drupal.org/node/1532326 but this was closed 4 years ago because 'doesn't seem to affect a lot of users' - perhaps true then but not now.
There is also the D7 project 'Colorbox Swipe Gestures Support' at https://www.drupal.org/project/colorbox_swipe.
