Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

The mac trackpad gesture to go back by swiping two fingers from left to right does not work here. It would be cool if you could either go back like in the browser.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two-finger left-to-right swipe in the GitHub Copilot app on macOS 26.5.2 with version 1.0.16, then trace how the app handles back navigation. Done means the gesture returns to the previous view consistently, like the browser behavior described in the issue.
