Suggestion: Firefox-like mousepad gestures for notebooks

[gurrenPizza]

Hi! I found your plugin recently and loved the idea!

I think it would be a great addition if we could move around Obsidian using the gestures firefox has introduced to navigate on the web, and if the plugin basically uses javascript the code might as well just be already there somewhere in the firefox codebase XD

I like the flow that firefox introduces into navigating pages with its gestures for notebooks. Instead of clicking to perform gestures, we can use two fingers to drag them left or right, and that goes back or forward one page.

Sorry for not providing much detail to the request as I don't have much time immediately right now, but if you find the idea appealing I'll be willing to try and look for that code in the firefox codebase or try to figure it out with you from scratch =]

Hey, thanks a lot for the suggestion and for trying out the plugin!

To be honest, I haven’t really considered touch interfaces yet (mobile or laptop touchpads). I also don’t have much experience with touch UI, so it’s a bit difficult for me to properly judge detailed requirements for this kind of interaction right now.

That said, your idea makes a lot of sense. I’ve been thinking about creating an interface that would let me map the existing gestures in the plugin to different input types (including touch), so that gestures can be unified across various devices. I’ll keep this in mind as a direction for future development.

(Fun fact: the working title for this plugin was actually “Obsidian Mouse Gestures” 😄)

If you do end up finding anything useful in the Firefox codebase or want to experiment with an approach, I’d be very happy to discuss it or look at a PR!
