Many users including me are worried about removing gestural cover actions in Sailfish 2.0. The removal is needed because of the horizontal paging of the home screen. But with button-like cover action it is very likely to active undesirable actions just by tapping unwillingly or tapping on a wrong place.

I believe that changing right/left swipes from the home screen to edge swipes can make using gestural cover actions possible again; i.e. on the home screen a swipe from the left edge will go to events and from the right edge will go to partner space. Edge swipes from either side inside an app will go back to home as before.
