Pointer Events - Gesture support

The Pointer Events Working Group would like to explore the possibility of adding native gesture support to the web platform. Currently, authors have to rely on third-party solutions, or roll their own gesture recognition from basic principles (tracking individual pointers and analysing their movement to determine if they user is trying to perform a gesture or not).

This feature has been requested various times over the years.

At this stage, we envisage a basic set of gestures such as "swipe", "scale", "rotate" that authors can "listen for" - see <https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/636>
