Swipe to dismiss thread view #3246

It would be really helpful if users could swipe to get out of a thread view.

That would be consistent with the slide-in-from-right behaviour of the view.

You mean the user would swipe in the direction left-to-right, to dismiss the thread, like hitting the "Back" button?

(As further information / related)

There is an option "Enable swipe gesture to switch between tabs" (default is on) which enables this between timelines/tabs.

However, I'm not sure this is in a general sense consistent: In order to open a conversation you cannot swipe right, you have to tap it.

So this would be not "back and forth" - like is possible with the tabs.

@nikclayton Correct - the user would swipe left-to-right to dismiss the Thread view, just like hitting the "Back" button.

When I say "consistent", I mean that the behaviour would be consistent with how the thread view appears. The thread view (at least with my config) appears by sliding in from the right side of the screen. As a user, I would like to be able to push it back in the direction that it came from.
