[Bug 1092694] [NEW] Dash Preview – Next Entry By Mouse Swipe Gesture

[Thibaut Brandscheid]

Public bug reported:

Problem:
When using the Dash preview I always feel like I should be able to just push the window content to the left or right to view the next page. Same goes for the content description. I would like to be able to drag and push the description text up and down (preventing me from aiming to grab the thin overlay scrollbar).

Possible solution:
- Add the possibility to push the Dash preview content to the right or left to switch to the next page.
- Add the possibility to drag & drop the content description text.

Both would increase the UX of the Dash and feel more natural than the
current navigation options. Unfortunately it would make the Dash more
alien then it already is (compared to the rest of the OS
