Desktop swipe gestures for IE

[thejoker1993]

Is it possible to enable swiping like it is in the metro version. Using either touch or mouse to go back and forward. There is nothing in advanced settings.

no, you cannot use swipe motion in desktop IE11 that's why they made a Metro version or else they would have just left out metro IE11 and enabled it in the desktop.

Try downloading TouchMe Gesture Studio from the app Store. You can use it to configure custom swipe gestures to navigate back/forward, switch tabs, etc...

^ That would work with Desktop IE?

yup! It'll work with any browser really because you can map a gesture to any keyboard shortcut. In this case, the keyboard shortcut you're looking for is Alt+LeftArrow. But TouchMe has a built in version of this called something to the tune of "Browser: Back"

The only difference is that you can't map single finger gestures, so you'd have to map it a little differently. By default TouchMe maps 2 Finger Swipe Right to "Browser: Back"

Let me know how it works!
