2-1. Swipe & Touch Gestures
On touch devices, use one-finger and two-finger swipes to move through content, switch desktops (workspaces), and open or close the desk gallery. The default is one finger → content, two fingers → desktop switch.
One finger · horizontal swipe
When one finger is assigned to Content navigation in settings (default), swipe left/right in these areas:
Two fingers · horizontal swipe
When two fingers are assigned to Desktop switch (default), swipe left/right to move to the adjacent workspace.
Two fingers · vertical swipe
Works always with two fingers, regardless of horizontal swipe settings. Swipe quickly (within about 0.5 seconds) and far enough to register.
Change finger roles (Settings)
Settings → Reading preferences → Horizontal/vertical swipe — for each finger count, choose Desktop switch, Content navigation, or Off.
| Fingers | Default (recommended) | Other options |
|---|---|---|
| One finger | Content (chapter, lexicon tabs, analysis verses) | Desktop only / swipe off |
| Two fingers | Desktop switch | Content / swipe off |
If you prefer one hand, you can swap roles (e.g. one finger → desktop, two fingers → content). Vertical gallery gestures (swipe down/up) are not affected by this setting.
