Two-finger swipe on touchpad to go back/ go forward (on laptop)(navigation history)

[Alicila]

Use case or problem & Proposed solution

On laptop computers’ touchpad,

• Two-finger swipe right = go to last page
• Two-finger swipe left = go to next page

are two very common navigation history gestures (across Mac and Windows)(open Edge or Safari to get a quick idea of what I mean). Also, The mobile version features this already. So why not add this to pc version? I think this would be most convenient and intuitive.

Current workaround (optional)

• define hotkeys such as ALT + ←
• click the botton

These are acceptable but an improvement would be great nonetheless.

The closest thing I can find. A pretty much ignored old post.

Improve history navigation on Mac OS

Use case or problem I use Obsidian on a Macbook and since it has such great workspace layout support, I typically run it full screen. When doing this, the forward and backward navigation arrows typically in the top bar disappear, as the top bar isn’t present for full-screen applications. two-finger swipe navigation on the trackpad is also not supported. Proposed solution Add support for two-finger swipe gestures for history navigation - ideally across Mac, Windows, and mobile touch devices. C…

Second this, this is just second nature for trackpad users and would make navigation on laptop so much faster.

i would also like to see this functionality added on both windows and mac. would be amazing for trackpad users.

I too would support such a feature, as a trackpad user this feels like a missed opportunity.

Would love to see this feature!
I try to do this all the time and wonder why nothing is happening, because it is so deeply ingrained in MacOS usage

Now that there’s the “stack tabs” function, I suppose this feature isn’t that important anymore.
(Try it out if you haven’t yet! It’s amazing. )
