Project Name
Bug-465257 - Thunderbird should support multi-touch gestures on OS X
Project Description
Currently Firefox has multi-touch support gestures built into it, but Thunderbird has yet to include them. The types of gestures and what they do for Thunderbird seem to be capable of being different between the two projects. But nonetheless, some of the coding is in place in Firefox and those links are on the Bugzilla page already to view those code elements. Its now a matter implementing a step by step process for implementing these gestures and testing them on my Mac Book Pro.
Here is a link to my blog site for a listing of articles that relate to this bug

Project News
- Currently, I'm just getting this project started. I'm in the midst of starting a blog for my progress which will be linked at the top of this page under the project description. The blog will be linked into [Seneca's Planet page]. Currently, this there is a bug filed on Bugzilla (noted above next to the project name) which lists all sorts of progress and discussion on this issue. Some discussion elements talk about what gestures to include and their behaviours, but also links to the source code implemented on Firefox and the spot where it should be included in Thunderbird.
- My discussions have begun with Bryan W Clark (:clarkbw) who has suggested first steps which include getting 3-finger scroll functioning with the behavior to include scrolling up goes to the top of a message or thread/message list, and scrolling down goes to the bottom of that message or list. From there, other implementations can be developed.
