Browser controls about appifier HOT 5 CLOSED

swipe is useful for devices that have touch enabled controllers (touchpad, touchscreen, magic mouse)
but somewhat problematic if you want to control the app inside with only mouse
and the app has no own way to get back one step
(or sometimes the app sends you to some external page and you cannot get back)

i like how it is done in Colibri browser (https://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2016/11/ColibriHome.png)
the controls are normally invisible, but show up in titlebar if hover over him

but for Webcatalog would be probadly enough if there was back, forward and reload in right click menu as sometimes you want to go back or reload the app

or to make the swipe gestures work with right click and drag

@natrim What do you think about swipe to navigate? I think it's better to keep the app as simple as possible. For me, WebCatalog is more like an app container, not a browser.

@natrim Colibri looks great but it would take a quite to implement similar functionalities as I need to redesign how WebCatalog works.

i know, thats why i said it would be ok if the controls were only in right click menu
or trough right click gestures (like on opera, vivaldi or chrome with gestures plugin)

i guess it would be not too hard to create checkbox in settings that enables right click menu with back, forward and reload (and maybe home to get back on the app start page)
