Yeah I'm a "me too" on the concern that the "back" button is too
hidden given it's frequent use. Perhaps we won't need "back" so much
in this new environment?
In any case, with gestures we need to be very mindful of how apps are
going to operate. We don't want to offer a gesture that might look
anything like something you might do in reasonable use of some app
that doesn't exist on this platform yet. Think about about what you
do on the screen when say, using a map, drawing a picture, moving a
piece in a game etc, etc. I think gestures coming in from the edge
are fairly safe, but the main screen area is for the app...
Having said that, I'd like a back button|gesture|mind control
interface somewhere. The title bar can get crowded, and needs that
clean style, but so far that seems like fair game.
Now that I think about it, the Android apps "OMG Ubuntu!" and
"Feedly" both use a nice tight little "<" like symbol in the top left
title bar to navigate back. It's small but visually clean,
consistent and works. Yeah, that's my preference.
Till later,
Scott.

let's stick with pinch zooming our way back out if we absolutely
must. I'd recommend just redesigning the title bar element to have a
back button.

I would like there to be such a gesture, I'm just not convinced
there's an appropriate one since the left edge of the screen is
occupied. My suggestion is we consider that swiping from left to
right anywhere not on the screen edge could act as a back
gesture in most applications.
I caution strongly against all of these actions though. there
are too many gestures coming about. if we give up one of the
left edge gestures, we could comfortably do this, but there is
no other reasonable way I can think of.

We could also think about using shaking for going back.
This would be doable with just one hand,
and wouldn't conflict with other (and future) gestures which are
touch-based.
