Web Browser Gestures

| Swipe finger from the right of the screen (outside of screen), towards left (into the screen) | Browser history |
| Swipe finger from the left of the screen (outside of screen), towards right (into the screen) | Hover mode. An arrow is displayed on the left. Clicking the arrow creates a pointer that can be used as a mouse to select text. Deactivate by clicking the arrow on the left. A quick hover can also be performed by swiping-and-holding finger on screen. This keeps the pointer visible until the finger is lifted. Also, pressing space performs a button click while on "quick hover". This can be handy if you just need to access a mouse-hover menu or such. |
