Swipe Gestures in Chrome

Getting used to Lion, but was distressed that when I'm in Chrome, I can no longer use a 2-finger swipe to go back 1 page and forward 1 page.
Any workaround?
Mike

I just saw this posted by another user. It worked for me with CHROME. (3 fingers not 2) I would have never have figured out this set of combinations gets you back to Leopard.
I strongly agree and missed the three-finger swipe. I managed to figure it out, with some searching online and in preferences. Here's how I got it back.
1. In the Trackpad Preference, go to the third tab, "More Gestures".
2. Mouse over "Swipe between full-screen apps". It will show a short demo video.
3. Just below, where it says "Swipe left or right with three fingers" you can click to change the shortcut. Change it to "Swipe left or right with four fingers".
4. Mouse up to "Swipe between pages". Change its shortcut to "Swipe left or right with three fingers".
5. Rock and roll.
FYI, the default seems to be "Scroll left or right with two fingers". That invokes an animation, and uses Apple's new "natural" scrolling direction. To me, it's not natural, because then I move my fingers backwards (to the left) to go forwards in my history.

Help! Trackpad swipe gestures not working - windows 8 pro mc x64

Hi
I have windows 8 pro mc x64 with bootcamp 5, on my macbook pro 13" mid 2010, everything worked, but my trackpad has no swipe gestures.
No back/forward with 3 fingers on google chrome for exemple.
Is there a WINDOWS REGISTER mod that would enable this feature?
I tried trackpad++ but no good, and also i don't like it, a lot of junk to install.
Thanks

Trackpad ++ is the only viable option for swiping et. al and is very simple to install.
If you follow the install instructions and read them thoroughly you'll see what I mean.
Read the later posts from page 33 to the end here...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2436935?start=480&tstart=0
The only other option is the Magic Tools http://www.trackpadmagic.com/magic-trackpad/home
but it does not provide the features you are seeking.
Those of us using Tackpad++ are well pleased and Vladimir just keeps improving it consistently..

2 finger swipe gesture in FF23 on mac

I updated my desktop Firefox to version 23.0 yesterday and my two-finger swipe gestures stopped working.
For a long time I have set in About:Config to browser.gesture.swipe.left -> Browser:PrevTab and browser.gesture.swipe.right -> Browser:NextTab.
Until version 22 there was no problem.
I checked some different settings and found out that with default values to go back and forward in history it works correctly.
I have FireGestures installed (which may affect the gestures) but I tried to uninstall/disable and the problem was still happening.
Thank you for any help

Remote App No Longer Recognizes Swipe Gestures

I noticed today that the Remote Application no longer accepts left/right and up/down swipe gestures.
It recognizes tapping and the Menu virtual button, but that's it.
Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading to iOS 4.2 and Apple TV 4.1?
Thanks,
Steve

I have had this problem CONSISTENTLY since downloading remote app to my iTouch. The controls will work for awhile then it loses that functionality. It's terribly annoying. I have to reset the Apple TV, delete then reload the remote app, etc. It's not worth the trouble when it's purported to be "easy."

How to enable triplefinger swipe gesture on Windows 8.1?

I've tried to modify the about:config section with no success.
It works only the ALT+TwoFingerGesture to go back and forward on history.
In explorer I can go back and forward with a three finger swipe gesture, can it be enabled on firefox?

Due to low use, the Firefox for Metro interface will no longer be released. If you would like to read more about this you can see the [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/ blog post]
The three finger swipe may be an add on, but I do not know.

Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?
Regards
Graham

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

Picture-Preview is out of focus, if I'm using the swipe-gesture in the Apple PhotoApp.

Hi,
this is my first question, and I think it's a iOS-related issue, but I coultn't find a way to ask Apple directly. But maybe you can help me, too
If I took a photo with the Apple PhotoApp and do the swipe-gesture to the right to see the preview of the photo this preview is out of focus. It's only the preview, the picture itself is perfectly focussed. If I take a second picture and do the swipe-gesture again, the newly taken photo-preview is out of focus, if I do the swipe-gesture again - to switch to the photo taken before - this photo is focussed.
The photos that are stored in the album are always focussed and perfect. If I touch the little preview of the last photo in the PhotoApp (lower left side) instead of using the gesture the preview is focussed.
Do you have any ideas? The problem persists for many iOS-Versions. The problem never got corrected. I get my updates OTA.
- sorry for my bad english -

If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

Trouble with swipe gesture in Mac OS X Lion.

Hello everyone,
I updated my mac yesterday with Lion. I was so looking forward to the upgrade, however I have stumbled on a problem ever since I upgraded.
The swipe gesture isn' t working correctly for me.
I look at the WWDC 2011 and I checked youtube videos of people that upgraded to Lion as well.
The problem is that the swipe gesture to navigate between windows, and Safari pages is all wrong.
My swipe gesture is moving in the opposite direction then it should, and I can't seem to change it.
From what I have seen, if I swipe two fingers from let to right, it should move the page in Safari from left to right as well. However it doesn't instead of moving from Left to right, it moves from right to left.
The same thing applys with moving between desktop windows.
Any ideas?

Did you un-check the "natural" scroll direction? "Natural" mode makes everything inverted.

How do I enable the three finger swipe gesture to go forward / backwards using Windows 8 for an elantech touchpad?

Hello Dylmar,
There are a few Firefox add-ons that may work for you. Give these a try:

The "swipe" gesture has stopped working on my Pre

Although it worked yesterday, today neither the right-to-left swipe gesture nor the "pull up the shortcut icons while I'm in another card/app" swipe gesture works. There's no response from the Pre to these gestures at all. I am able to throw a card off the top of the screen and to dismiss an email or txtmsg notification off the main screen, but the swipe area below the screen seems to no longer respond to touch. Is there something I can do to attempt to reset this? If not, is there somewhere I should call or take my unit to be looked at? Thanks.
--Diane.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

My Pre had a similar issue yesterday and early today, then it corrected itself. Nothing I did could fix it. My problem was the swipe feature was going "nuts" all by itself. It kept swiping on its own. Programs would minimize, the deck of cards would move, another program would open, and I could see the touchscreen light up like I was touching it (fingerprint). However, when I would used the touchscreen, It would react as though I was touching a different part of the screen (I touch the right side but an app on the left side of screen would open). It was like the screen needed to be re-calibrated. Also, I could not "throw" cards away (close apps). When I tried the up/down motion, it was interpreted as left to right, so the deck of cards simply moved left to right. I completely turned off the phone (which was a chore since the touchscreen was INOP). The reset did nothing. This morning I tried playing with it again and it was still acting up (but on a lesser scale). I was able to work my way to the reset options page and was going to do a full reset, then I noticed everything started working as it should. Not sure what fixed the problem. I've got my fingers crossed this was just a one-time event!

Do not get option to use swipe gestures with Remote app

I am using Remote version 3.0.1 and with previous remote versions when I opened the app on my phone I would get the option to access my library or to just use swipe gestures to control the apple tv - now I don't, it goes straight to my library when opening the app. What if I want to watch netflix or something other than playing stuff in my library? How do I get this functionality back? On the screen shots for the app in AppStore it has a shots of the swipe screen with "Tap to Select or Swipe to Navigate" so it must still be in this version?
Please help
Ben

On the bottom of the app there are different options (Playlists, Artists, Control, Search, More). Choose control and it will bring you to that screen. If you can't get there maybe it isn't detecting your Apple TV.

Code Snippet - Swipe Gesture to frame or Scene

Using the Timeline Navigation code snippets is real easy to use and understand, I am using the codes to " Click to next scene or frame etc etc and they work fine.
What I dont see in the code snippets is a easy to use " Swipe Gestures" Swipe to frame/ Swipe to Scene/ Swipe to next scene.
Im not a Coder. Everything I have learned is from watchng Lynda.com, Total training and alot of trial and error. When it come to reading long
lines of code my mind goes fritzy. And because of this I have learned to respect you guys who know coding.
I noticed that the you can add your on personal snippets into your library.
I will gladly pay someone to write me a simple Right to left swipe gesture Snippet that lets me navigate to a frame or Scene.
I hope this is something that adobe is planning to add to the Code Snippets Options soon.
Can someone please give me some input on how to make this happen.

What this is ... is a demo for an phone app.
They are doing the demo on a PlayBook.
There are 20 screens and the design looks like a BlackBerry Torch.
The bottom navigation takes the user back to screen One.
I have a button on Frame 1 of the timeline that runs across all 20 screens.
The Code Snippet for that button is:
HomeLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
So .. if the user is on say ... screen 10 and clicks the "HomeLeft" button .. it takes them to screen #1.
That works.
All the navigation works up to screen 19.
Then ... when you navigate to screen 20 ... nothing.
The buttons react ... but the script is not activated.
I have looked EVERYWHERE for rogue code.
I even deleted the frames for screen 20 and then built it again.
Still ... it does not work.
If I could show you a screen shot of the timeline ... I think it would make more sense.

Swipe gestures not working on iPad or mouse

The swipe gestures to move between windows, or access launch pad are not working. Cannot do secondary button on mouse. Track pad is also not working completely. Not sure what settings I may have fouled up, or just what happened.
Any suggestions?

Safari Won't Scroll After Using Swipe Gesture

This just began a few days ago. Not sure if it's associated with a recent update...
If I try to use the two-fingered swipe to go back a page in Safari not only doesn't the page change, but I get a distorted page that looks as though there were two Safari windows overlapping. In the past, failure to swipe long enough would result in the page starting to move but snapping back into place. Now there is no movement, but this overlapping happens. To the left you can see anywhere from 2/16 to 1/2 inch of repeated/overlapping image. On the right, the scroll bar disappears (or, if the overlap is narrow, becomes nearly invisible). Once this happens the page cannot be scrolled up or down by any means. Refreshing the page or entering a new URL has no effect. The problem persists on every subsequent page loaded. Sometimes closing all windows and then opening a new window will clear it up -but usually I have to completely quit Safari. The problem is easily replicated in Safari on any website, but doesn't appear when I use a different web browser, so I am assuming it's a problem with Safari rather than my trackpad.
Quitting Safari is a very inconvenient workaround. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas for a solution? I've already reported it as a bug to Apple...
Thanks!

UPDATE: After posting it occurred to me to try some troubleshooting on my own. (I know, I should have done that before posting...)
A restart of the computer did not solve the problem, but zapping the PRAM seems to have cleared it up. At least, since the PRAM reset I can once again use the swipe gestures without crashing Safari. Fingers crossed that it stays fixed.
Just in case someone doesn't know that one: For us old codgers this is called "zapping the PRAM" but nowadays it's "resetting the NVRAM".
Shut down the computer, turn it on again and immediately press and hold the COMMAND, OPTION, P and R keys, let the chime go two more times (for a total of three after the restart) then release all the keys. The computer will finish rebooting. Most instructions will tell you to let go after the second chime, but waiting for the third does no harm, and sometimes succeeds where two doesn't. (Mac For Dummies says "power users" swear by five, or even six chimes...) This action is generally considered safe, but some advise disconnecting peripherals so they don't interfere in some way with the reset.
