Two finger swipe (left) in windows is back button. Any way to implement it in linux?(fedora-gnome)

I'm talking about trackpad gestures the same way swipe from ends work as go back in android. Windows had a back gesture (3 finger swipe in gnome swaps workspaces) [Solved]

I can confirm, I get the same behavior.

Its the default behaviour for firefox. Normally you have to disable with by tweaking browser.gesture.swipe.left/right in about:config

Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate But how it triggers?

Your trackpad + driver would have to have Linux gesture support, not all do
