Gesture navigation

Feature Request

Hi team,

First of all, thank you for your amazing work on NIGARA!

I would like to suggest adding support for gesture navigation. Implementing edge-swipe or similar standard gestures would greatly improve the user experience, especially on mobile devices or full-screen usage.

It would make navigating through the app much smoother and more modern. Is this something you'd consider adding in a future update?

Thanks again for your time and for maintaining such a great project!

    Thanks for the suggestion! Android's own gesture navigation is a system setting, and most phone makers (Samsung, Google, OnePlus and others) let it work with third-party launchers like Niagara, so you can switch it on in Android's system settings. Some manufacturers, notably Xiaomi, block it for third-party launchers. That's on the system side, as explained in Gesture Navigation Issues.

    If your phone is one of those and you'd like Niagara to emulate the gestures itself, that request is already collected here: Gesture Navigation Emulation. Upvoting it is the best way to push it, since we go through requests roughly by upvotes.

    If you meant something else, like a new swipe gesture inside Niagara itself, could you add here which gesture you have in mind and what it should do? Then this post can stand on its own.
