Description

 * Xreader version 2.8.3
 * Distribution - Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon

Issue

Not an issue per se, but a question and possibly a request.

In presentation mode on my HP Spectre laptop, I can tap the touchscreen to forward a page.

Is there a way to go back a page using touchscreen? I tried tapping in other parts of the screen and swiping, but I can only get pages to go forward, never backward.

When a mouse is attached, I can use the right mouse button to go back a page. But I want to try reading a PDF with the screen folded back, so it's in tablet mode -- no mouse attached. I would love to be able to go back a page using a touchscreen gesture.

It's possible I haven't found the functionality, if it's present, so please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in Xreader 2.8.3 presentation mode on Linux Mint with a touchscreen, then trace the existing touch handling for forward navigation and the mouse right-button action. Done means a defined touchscreen gesture reliably moves back one page in tablet mode, with coverage added if the project has relevant tests.
