Gestures still missing...

chrisi

i loved opera, then i changed with the team to vivaldi. i use the browser on daily bases. but on ios i'm missing gestures, so at the moment i have to use icab. there i can use swipes with fingers as i love to use it with the mouse on pc.

ModEdit:

Requested gestures:

New Tab
Duplicating a tab.
Closing the start page with the same gesture, not by pressing on the +

There are some gestures available in Vivaldi on iOS.

swipe from left and right edge of the screen to move back and forward in history
swipe down to reload
swipe down and left to open a new tab
swipe down and right to close the current tab

Which other gestures are you missing?

Hi Jane, thanks for the quick reply. I didn’t check since along time…
It’s now well made, even graphically.
I’m missing:

New Tab
Duplicating a tab.
Closing the start page with the same gesture, not by pressing on the +

Now i tried the function out.
It works well on bigger screens like on the iPad, but on the iPhone if you have pages like YouTube, where you scroll down a lot, the solution with the gestures doesn’t work well. You have to scroll all the way up to close the page with the gesture „down and right“. So it even takes longer than to press the x.

I moved the topic to the Feature Requests category. If we see there's a bigger interest in gestures, we can look into implementing them.

Thanks, because I love Vivaldi on PC. For me it’s the only reason not to use it on iOS or iPadOS, as my main browser. Otherwise you have done a really great job.
