The next version of Google's Chrome OS will support a limited number of touchscreen gestures to control laptops or tablets that use the operating system, something that should be familiar to most smartphone and tablet users. The new gesture system will be included as a standard part of Chrome OS 80, which is currently in beta testing in advance of a public release on February 11, 2020. Chrome OS 80 will support four new gestures, including swiping from left to right to take users back to a previous screen, and a short upward swipe will bring up the app shelf menu at the bottom of the screen. A long swipe upward from the bottom of the screen will clear all currently open apps and take users back to the home screen. Finally, swiping upward from the bottom of the screen and leaving your finger pressed on the screen will bring up an overview screen showing all currently open app windows.
