Aram (ID: 000000034746c8a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/08/2021 Seems like one of the best options for gestures. The other ones just take your data, unbelievable. You can easily configure it. Make sure you type in the U D L R in capical, otherwise it won't work. Also re-open the tabs you already had open to make it work.
