As Sailfish prioritize one hand use, i think they should focus more in bottom and sides gestures. I droped my phone many times trying to close an app. First: An initial setup that ask if you are lefty or righty.

My swipes ideas:

  • swipe right to minimize
  • swipe left for notifications
  • swipe from bottom to close app
  • swipe from top to lock the phone from anywhere (you can lock the screen even if you are inside an app)
edit retag flag offensive close delete

I use the phone sometimes with my left hand (I'm righty), so I would find it difficult if swipe from left and right have different actions.

That are my thoughts too. Jolla is too big to use different gestures from left and right.

There are several questions/suggestions regarding swipe actions already. Do a search and vote for your favourite ideas. It's hard to rank ideas when each idea consists of multiple suggestions, so if your favourite idea isn't posted yet, post it as a new question or as an answer to a present question.

For example, that new close gesture; there's a thread dedicated to a new close gesture here. Post your suggestion as an answer there.

But I agree that the Jolla is too big and would benefit from swipe motions more adapted to the screen size, but it's hard to vote on this question, since I don't agree to all your new gestures.
