Description

An extension for Microsoft Edge that allows customers to perform basic browsing tasks by right-clicking and then gesturing with the mouse. For example, right-click and hold, then move the mouse down and to the right to close the current tab, or move the mouse right to left to go back to the previous page.

Version notes

Version number: Varies by device

We’ve made several improvements based on your feedback. - Now you can use Mouse Gestures to reopen a closed tab, go to your home page, close all tabs to the left or right, or duplicate the current tab. - New rocking gestures were added: Hold the right-click button as you left-click, or hold the left-click button as you right-click to perform a quick action. - When you use Mouse Gestures to scroll up or down, scrolling is now smoother, and covers the same distance as your mouse. - Various bug fixes.

A good start

My laptop did not come with a scrolling feature so I was really pleased to find this Extension. It is very helpful but I don't understand why I should need to right click first before any scrolling takes place. Surely you can make it so it works without having to click? Just provide us extra options within settings. It would be nice to be able to use this feature throughout all of Windows, not just Microsoft Edge. I like the capability to grab links and they open up in tabs but you need to make this work for pictures also.

Need more improvement

I've used for a while, its useful but not when you use a trackpad. 1.Maybe you can add two fingers gestures to simulate the right click of a mouse, then it will really work on the trackpad. 2.why it doesn't work on a new tab?

Excellent

Had to uninstall and then reinstall to get it to work, but that seems like an issue with Edge as I had it with other extensions. Now I'm using it, I love it and find it so much quicker than clicking on buttons. It's really easy to configure, but I stuck with the defaults.

Good UI add-on

Sometimes it is much more convienitet to just make a small gesture rather than move the mouse over to the navigation bars or menu bars in your browser. You can open a new page, go back, forward, close the current page all with a simple mouse gesture for each function.

Why not apply to Windows 10 completely?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could apply something similar to the complete OS? Such as, a gesture to open This PC, a gesture to switch to next Desktop, etc?

Fantastic!

This should be called Mouse and Pen Gestures. I was pleasantly surprised when my Surface Pen was able to take advantage and use the same gestures as those I assigned to the pen and they are completely customisable. It has truly made interacting and browsing the web with Edge via touch an absolute dream to use.
