Can anyone shed any light on why you can’t swipe back and forward in Finder with a trackpad? The option in Settings allows for two finger swipe between pages in eg. Safari, but that doesn’t extend to Finder, and I can’t work out why?

I’ve been able to activate it using BetterTouchTool, but it seems like a truly bizarre omission, considering how much Apple have optimised macOS for trackpad use.

I don’t know why I’ve never really thought about it before, but now I can’t stop…

    Why? Because Apple has abandoned good user interfaces for the Mac a while ago. Look no further than the Photos app, share menu, abomination systems settings has become, invisible scroll bars.

      Right, but this is something that has never existed despite it being a fairly obvious interaction gesture.
