Paperwhite Gestures
Hello all,
I'm not much of a coder and have no idea where to start, however would it be possible to add the Touch Gestures to the Paperwhite? On my touch if I swipe up or down it jumps to the next chapter in that direction. This feature is missing from my paperwhite I have to bring up the menu, select GoTo and select the chapter from the drop down. Personally I feel this is a step backwards in functionality and would love to have it back. Thanks for reading. Last edited by Akirainblack; 11-02-2012 at 07:49 AM. |

I swear you, even experienced coders here have no desire to touch that code where such a gesture should be implemented.
(OK, I should talk only for myself, so count my previous sentence as exaggerated. NOT!) EDIT Just forgot to say why it's so. That code is obfuscated (in simpler words: mutated into unreadable form). To understand how this obfuscated code works and change it's behavior you'll need A LOT of time and patience. Or just Batman (code should be "decoded" from the form of very small chunks, just like bullet in clip). Last edited by eureka; 11-02-2012 at 08:00 AM. |

... and interestingly enough, many people are complaining exactly about that behavior on the Touch (inadvertently swiping up or down, and then being completely lost). I guess that this is why they removed it on the PW

Ah, fair enough. I quite liked it, only once did I swipe wrongly and end up wondering what the smeg I'd done.
