Correctioon on my earlier complaint:
- The gestures on both trackpad and magic mouse are still there, they changed number of fingers required for the gesture (on both), and they stopped working in some cases. Most notably, "swipe between pages" (which is forward and back) doesn't work in google maps - the gesture is ignored entirely. It appears that any pane which has scrollability (even if only vertical scrollability) will use the swipe in trying to scroll (even if it can't) rather than swiping between pages.
- The ability to map "back" and "forward" in Safari through keyboard shortcuts is still there, it is only alt-left and alt-right (my selected keystrokes) that stopped working. As best I can tell, Safari is pre-empting alt-left and alt-right for something else that doesn't do anything. Changing the shortcut to "shift-left" worked.
- Regrettably, however, the swipe between pages no longer works in open office. It's entirely ignored. This had been quite convenient, and Lion seems to have changed the interface enough that OpenOffice is no longer understanding either the gesture or the keystroke.
