[Bug 1317085] Re: [mir]Touchpad edge swipes

 

I think this is a very good idea. I find for example on OSX the way to
get the notifications tray from the right with two finger "edge swipe"
very useful and intuitive way to interact with the OS. So definitely
would consider this option once we're implementing those features.

  [mir]Touchpad edge swipes

Bug description:
  I think it would be awesome to support touchpad edge swipes (fingers
  crossing the edge of the touchpad, swiping in). I don't know if we
  would be swiping with two fingers or one (one finger is more likely to
  be confused with another action that the user wants to perform, like
  moving the mouse cursor).

  Functionality can be the same or very similar to what we are doing on
  the phone: right-edge to switch between apps (or bring in the side
  stage), left edge shows the launcher, bottom edge would depend on what
  the app wants to do with it, and top edge can show system settings.
