Unfortunately, the backspace key is also the same key we use to delete a character in a text input field. Just a few months ago, Chrome, like all other browsers let you go back to the previous page in your history by tapping the Backspace key. Apple hasn’t released a Mac or MacBook with a touch screen yet so you won’t really have this problem on macOS. This is a setting that concerns Windows 10 users. This will work regardless if you’re using Chrome in desktop or tablet mode. You will no longer be able to swipe left or right from the edge of your screen to go to the next or previous page in your history. Open the dropdown under the ‘Overscroll history navigation ‘ flag, and select ‘Disable’ from the options. chrome://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation Open Chrome and paste the follow in the URL bar. If the swipe gestures make scrolling difficult for you though, you can disable swipe to go back in Chrome. In Chrome, you can swipe left and right to go to the previous or next page in your history. Once you have a touch screen, you’ll like it. It might therefore seem like the touch screen on a laptop is a frivolous addition made to sell the device at a higher price. Fewer still can rival the display on a Surface tablet or the Surface Studio. Few touch screens will ever be good enough to substitute a proper tablet. You can tap your screen to open links, access menus, and use a myriad of swipe gestures. The display on a two-in-one laptop is a touch display. It sounds small, but this gesture is very useful.Two-in-one laptops double as tablets. If you need to quickly shut down a handful of open tabs in Chrome, a three-finger click will close any tab you are hovering without having to get the cursor directly over the little X up top. If you have a lot going on or just can’t find that one window you need, this is very handy and a gesture I use countless times on a daily basis.įinally, with the same three fingers, you can perform a click that will close any tab you are hovering.
With this gesture, you can invoke your overview mode and see all open windows at once on your desktop.
While there is a dedicated keyboard key for this on Chromebooks, the three-finger swipe up is way quicker in my opinion. It’s insanely helpful and a feature you’ll definitely miss if you get used to it and move back to a Windows or Mac laptop. The idea here is simple: when in Chrome and you have open tabs up top, you can slide three fingers left or right and move through those tabs effortlessly. These gestures are more about multitasking productivity and feel more like additions than requirements. When moving into three-finger gestures, things get even more complex.
