Revision history [back]

I've been having problems to play games or use apps when they have menus to slide in from the sides.

This is why I suggest to add a feature to optionally lock the swipe feature on request when you're in an app. This could be from pulley menu or a 5 seconds countdown bar at the top that appears when you start an app. Touching the bar within these 5 seconds would enable swipe lock. To unlock swipe feature, a short hit on one of the physical buttons (most likely the power button) would be the easiest and fastest choice. It should be possible to completely disable the feature in Settings menu for those who don't want to make use of it if it's an included feature of future Sailfish versions.

What do you think? I believe that under given circumstances this is a very useful feature.

To make it perfect, it would be great if one could define preferred apps to run with swipe lock enabled. This would be particularly useful for Android apps.

Sorry to bump this, for bumping this one, but I really find it a required high priority feature. Maybe there are now some more users thinking the same.
