Description

mpv version and platform

Windows 10, The latest build from https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/

Reproduction steps

Open a video and try to swipe.

Expected behavior

Some navigation happens

Actual behavior

Nothing

I just want to know if there's a way to configure MPV to recognize swipe gestures for example swiping up and down to adjust the volume and swipe left and right to navigate forward and backward in the playback.

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or implementation entry point beyond opening a video on Windows 10 and attempting a swipe. First determine whether mpv exposes touch input or configurable gesture events; done would require defined swipe recognition and mappings for volume and playback navigation.
