Revision history [back]

I would like to suggest some new, hopefully natural gestures that fit nicely into the Jolla paradigm. I am sure people at Jolla have thought of these before, but I want to put them out here so that we all can voice opinions.

The three gestures I would like to suggest are:

1. Swipe from edge and stop. Then release.
2. Swipe from edge and continue with a small flick when releasing.
3. Swipe from edge and return to edge, then release.

If used from the top edge, this would give space for a quick phone-lock gesture without the need for minimizing or closing the app you are in for the moment. swipe-and-hold would kill your app (you have time to look at the kill-feedback on the app-card and you can regret), swipe-and-flick would instantly lock the device, without killing the app, and swipe and return would be used to peek.

Any ideas what to do on the other edges? I am thinking that swipe-and-flick from the sides in the browser could be used as back/forwards gestures, perhaps?

The three gestures I would like to suggest are:

1. Swipe from edge and stop. Then release.
2. Swipe from edge and continue in the same direction with a flick when releasing.
3. Swipe from edge and return to edge, then release.
