Mouse gestures are what long-time users miss most: hold the right button and draw down to reload, left to go back, an L shape to close the tab. Once learned it beats clicking buttons, and beats memorizing shortcuts.
Default gestures
A dozen common gestures ship by default: down (reload), left (back), right (forward), down-right (close tab), up (new tab), up-down (reopen the last closed tab).
- Down: reload the page
- Left / right: back / forward
- Down then right: close the current tab
- Up: open a new tab
Customizing
In gesture settings you can assign your own track to each action and bind gestures to extension commands or actions like "copy link text".
- Custom track for every action
- Bind gestures to extension commands
- Adjustable recognition sensitivity
- Export the configuration to restore on another machine
Super drag
Beyond gestures, dragging is enhanced: drag a link to open it in a new tab, drag text to search it, drag an image to save it or search by image.
- Drag a link: open in a new tab
- Drag text: start a search
- Drag an image: save or search by image
- Super drag can be disabled in settings
FAQ
Do gestures work on a trackpad?
Yes, by dragging with two fingers or holding the right button. Trackpad users often prefer system gestures and shortcuts.
Do gestures conflict with the page context menu?
No. A gesture is only recognized once the pointer moves past a threshold while the button is held; a click in place still opens the menu.
