Two-finger gestures (back and forth) on the touchpad
-
Lenovo laptop. The gesture with two fingers forward and backward on the touchpad does not work. It works in chrome, edge and yandex browser. Doesn't work in Vivaldi.
How to overcome this problem? -
I was on Google looking for a solution for this, I know this is old, but in case you're still using Vivaldi and haven't found this:
Settings > Mouse > Perform Gestures with Alt Key > Check the box next to it
Unfortunately, there is no way to swipe with 2 fingers on a trackpad to go back and forth, but enabling this setting with allow you to hold alt + swipe with one finger left or right to go to the previous or next page.

There is an open feature request for this that has been approved and will be implemented at a later date. What I do for now is use the gesture support for my touchpad. Microsoft Precision Touchpads support three finger gestures and those can be set to backwards and forwards navigation.

@mackid1993 more than a year has passed and still not here!!!

@mihalyn90 Don't know why you are tagging me. I have nothing to do with this. I suppose I could sprinkle some magic computer dust and fix it though.
I have no issues setting backward and forward navigation gestures in Windows and using that.

My three-finger gestures were being ignored in Vivaldi but worked fine for Firefox.
Below is what fixed it for me. Try this.
-
locate the Vivaldi.exe shortcut > Right Click > select Properties
-
Target field should look something like this:
C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe -
add to end of Target field so it looks like :
C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds
Once done, use the shortcut if desired for:
- Pin to taskbar
- Pin to start
-

I literally cannot use this browser on my laptop before this feature gets added. I saw another post about this dated 2018. How has it been 7 years and two-finger gestures still aren't here? Unacceptable.
