Is your gesture relatively quick or slow?

It's generally a quick, but with a short travel distance. I've found that extending the distance my fingers travel horizontally improves the chance of success, but I also add a little more velocity due to frustration. 

[mac bug triage] Cc'ing tapted@ since he has ownership for Input

taking out of triage queue. I don't have a device to test, but might eventually.

Code lives in https://cs.chromium.org/chrome_render_widget_host_view_mac_history_swiper.mm

git blame suggests erik might be familiar with it. Possibly there's a simple parameter tweak that can be made.

Well, I got that device :) #shiny

And the first thing I noticed was that my mouse felt a lot slower in general. I don't think I'd changed it on my old laptop, but bumping up the Tracking Speed in System Preferences seems to have gotten me back to a behaviour I'm familiar with.

But! I experimented and this doesn't impact the swipe gesture.

The swipe travel seems OK to me - maybe this is WAI. But personally, I hate that gesture since it confuses scrolling, and always disable it in preferences, so I'm not really a good judge :)

There are constants that can be fiddled with here: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/renderer_host/chrome_render_widget_host_view_mac_history_swiper.mm?type=cs&q=historyswiper&sq=package:chromium&l=19

I haven't had a chance to do so yet.

Clearing erikchen@ as he is no longer focusing on Mac.
