swipe down gesture #198

Problem

horizontal swipes (3 or 4 fingers)
swipe up (3 or 4 fingers)
pinch (3 or 4 fingers)

Proposal

Prior Art (Optional)

The current offer of gestures in latest stable OS 6.1:

I just realized why. Same reason why there aren't separate "left & right" gestures, but rather one "horizontal", huh? Swipe down is needed to exit multitasking view (for example).

So maybe rephrase "up" to "vertical"?

Unless you want to implement the gesture context-aware in respect to multitasking view? :grin: And how to explain it to users.. :sweat_smile:
