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…

    Yep, that’s a bizarre oversight. If you’re going to include a back button in your app, it should work consistently.
