Description John Veness 2025-05-27 20:39:55 UTC
SUMMARY
This is a feature request, based on when I noticed the animation when switching between the Applications and Places tabs. It seemed logical to me that doing a two-finger left/right swipe gesture on a trackpad should swap between the tabs/

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kickoff
2. Hover the mouse within the main part of Kickoff (i.e. not on the Kickoff icon)
3. Attempt to swipe sideways with two fingers on a trackpad

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kickoff changes between the Applications and Places tabs.
