Windows 7: 9 Built-in Gestures

Windows 7, which will be released along with a bevy of multi-touch computers, will include 9 built-in multi-touch gestures.

By built in I mean that there are events specifically designed for these gestures which include:

  • Tap and Double-tap
  • Panning with Inertia
  • Selection /Drag
  • Press and Tap with second finger
  • Zoom
  • Rotate
  • Two-finger Tap
  • Press and Hold
  • Flicks

There is a nice graphic showing each of the gestures with more information on the associated events (Win32) here.
