Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Implement additional touchscreen gestures for common user actions in Fennec.

2. Users & use cases

`

3. Dependencies

  • bug 653282 - Swipes should navigate the awesomescreen.
  • There are some interactions and dependencies between touch events and gestures.
    • When we expose multi-touch events to web content, web pages that consume the touch events may prevent gestures from invoking their default UI actions.
    • The implementation of gestures might depend on exposing multi-touch events to Fennec's chrome JavaScript.

4. Requirements

`

Non-goals

`

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

This is our new gesture set, as mapped to current browser features. We will also have on-screen touch buttons/targets, but we need to map all features to a gestures for accessibility reasons (more details on that soon)...
