Mouse gestures
Required: Following the guidelines for mouse gestures is mandatory.
Mouse gestures are a way to interact with a computer using specific movements with the mouse. These gestures streamline navigation and enhance user efficiency, providing a more intuitive and dynamic interaction with digital interfaces.
When we write "primary click", it is often considered the right-click, but there might be users who have an inverted mouse, where the left click is considered the primary.
