This is the default in Mac, easily configurable in Windows (perhaps it&amp;#x27;s the default?), and default in ChromeOS. But simply not an option in any Linux I&amp;#x27;ve tried. The Epiphany Browser does it, but that lacks extension support so is a no-go for me. Any extensions or workarounds I&amp;#x27;ve tried only support three-finger swipes.&lt;p&gt;So, along with consistent keyboard shortcuts, I&amp;#x27;d like to add consistent and configurable mouse&amp;#x2F;trackball actions (some apps scrollwheel goes up&amp;#x2F;down, others it zooms, some support pinch zoom, some don&amp;#x27;t).</text></comment>

The worst grievance lately is that I don&amp;#x27;t know how to just pop back and forth between three windows.  Something about the way command tab works just kills my ability to reason about what the window stack currently is.&lt;p&gt;And, for the life of me, I never get copy paste from a terminal to work like I want it to.</text></comment>
