Wasted gestures in Home-Events-Home carousel [duplicate]

If you can see as moderator I upvoted both topics before I posted this one. I mean, yes, I saw them :)

Moreover, this one is the extraction and generalization of that issues. So "duplicate" is not very sharp term here. But it doesn't matter since topic is still available for everyone :)

@kandelabra if there is a question on a topic already there, please. I know you tried to aggregate the topic but the other two are already doing fine on their own. Also, if you read and voted on the others you might as well just say "Can we combine 'link' with 'link' and do 'link' please?". I am trying to encourage you to help the other threads go fwd instead of starting your own as your idea has one mismatch to the others. It does not help the cause to have different collections of ideas while there are already questions open about each item. This also helps with voting as it reflects what people think about a specific issue. I would so like to write up my ideas about "How I would do it." but in the end there is always someone not so happy with a solution and will voice that, people happy won't voice that loud or even remain silent!

OK, I'll try to get the mechanics of the forum and of the community. But Help says nothing about merging topics. It would be great to add a couple of words about questions updates. I see I can edit source topic but I don't know whether it common here. May be I will offend someone's copyright this way :)

@kandelabra ask the OP if it is ok to make a wiki out of it, altering starting posts should be limited to typos or altering misleading/interpretative content. IIRC there is nothing about merging topics as it is nothing in general and maybe stuff for FAQ though. In general, do not merge topics, the less merging is done the more freely topics may evolve. On global issues like gestures, you could merge all of them into one topic that would never get to an end as there is always room for further changes. Being specific about certain use-case issues like cover-buttons or UI-movement helps much more than to mix/merge them together. Sure if you clean up the UI-navigation mess you get new possibilities or old ones back. But first things first, the UI redesign is dumbed down on a so massive level that it makes those users here from the beginning wonder if Jolla stopped working in their own direction and goes mainstream now. People are scared to get something unusable like android. In terms of work-flow all issues need to be addressed but without changing the UI in general none of our ideas are even possible.

There are several topics about adding pull-gestures to list items, like call-history items or now events-view items. Reducing buttons reduces the need for precision actions and therefore increases speed. For some reason the test-group in Fi Jolla picked to determine new UI decisions did not get cover-actions or outside swipes, so they dumbed it down back to buttons. Usability and usage pattern tests showed that menusVStoolbars the toolbars win if they are always on, as soon as someone needs to use a button to access it they do not use it anymore and even further they stop using the app at all. So I'd like to see a study on SFOS gestures compared to that!

Sorry for stupid question, but what is OP here?

Right here I was specific about navigation gestures - more UI in general. Covers and events swipes were just examples of well known side effects of the issue.
