Does Windows 8 have gestures for tablet?

On Windows 8 tablets such as Surface, is it possible to use gestures? The first one that comes to mind is an equivalent of the back button.


Solution 1:

I found a article detailing gestures for a different tablet(Kupa X11)

Solution 3:

  • Swipe from the right to open the Charms bar
  • Swipe from top or bottom to open the app's menu
  • Swipe from the left to switch between recent apps
  • Swipe from the left into the screen and back out to open a list of open Modern apps
  • Swipe from the left and hold, then let go to dock a recent app at the side of the screen
  • Swipe from the very top to the very bottom of the screen to close a Modern app

Of course, the usual stuff like pinch to zoom and swiping to scroll works in most apps depending on context like you would expect.
