Rocker Navigation

[kar321]

Hi,

what's about the "Rocker Navigation" (navigate forward and backward by rocking your fingers across the mouse buttons)?

I love this feature in Opera (<=12.1x ) and now in Firefox (with the addon "All-in-One Gestures"). But it would be great, to "see" this feature in QupZilla too.

Thank you.

Although not directly, it has been requested before: #386.

Do you mean the Left+Right mouse click and Right+Left mouse click for Back/Forward in history?
This won't be ever in QupZilla, because it would only work on platforms that display context menus on mouse release (Windows, ... ?).
I am not saying that forcing to show context menu on mouse release on all platforms is impossible, I just don't like to have context menu on mouse click on all widgets except the webview (on Linux).

Yes, I mean the Left+Right mouse click and Right+Left mouse click for Back/Forward in history.

There is no problem with this feature in Opera (<=12.x) and Firefox (with the Addon "All-In-One Gestures"). I have test it on Windows, Linux (Arch and *ubuntu) and MacOSX. This feature works really fine in both browser and all (x86) plattforms.

I just wrote that it would need to force showing context menu on mouse-release instead of mouse-click as is default in Linux desktop, which I won't do.

Ok, I understand your point.

Maybe it's possible to writing a addon for QupZilla? But I can't programming. ;-(

Yes, it can be done with plugin.
