For me it also worked that way, initially I was not using all 4 fingers. then I tried the vertical gesture and even tried using my thumb instead of pinky, which also works btw. Finally I hit the sweet spot and now seem to have the kinaesthetic memory and can do it easily. Jenine Stanley

Re: the 4-finger swipe

For what it may be worth to some, I found that, the first few times I tried this gesture I was really using only three fingers because my pinky was not really touching the phone. Once I adjusted my hand the small amount required to compensate for this all worked fine. HTH Sandy Sent from my

Good question. Software-wise, short-term I’m thinking Windows with Linux as a VM guest. This gets you an accessible app ecosystem but you don’t have to lose access to a productive working environment like the Unix CLI. I’d pick Windows 8.1 plus Classic Shell because I know it works, and will
