Discussion: Add ink gestures

[winston-de]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Not really a problem, but several apps (eg Journal, MS To-Do) have added ink gestures to manipulate items. I think this would be a cool thing to have in Files.

Describe the solution
Add support for ink gestures for manipulating items in layout modes. Some gestures could be scribble to delete, circle to select multiple items, check to toggle selection.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

This is a really cool idea, but I do hope that implementing it doesn't push v2.0 any further...

I think it's a great suggestion! I would also add a gesture to scribble or draw a line over the path to go up a folder, for example:
Before: C:\Users\filesuser\Desktop\folder\Pics
Change: C:\Users\filesuser\Desktop\ strikethrough folder\Pics end of strikethrough
After: C:\Users\filesuser\Desktop\

I think that drawing on the address bar would register as a click and enter the edit mode. It's something to look into if we decide to move forward with this proposal.
