Create option to disable "Show All Tabs" on pinch gesture

olivec

Brief Summary
Currently, when you pinch to zoom out on a window that's at 100% zoom, like Safari, Orion changes to a view that shows all open tabs in a grid. I would like to disable this behavior.

Details:
It's not always clear that the browser window is already at 100% zoom, so I frequently try to zoom out and then accidentally switch to the All Tabs grid instead.

(Honestly, I never do it on purpose. I don't personally find the grid view to be helpful.)

This is the view I'm talking about.

Rather than creating another setting it might be better if Orion instead implemented a gradual transition like Safari does by syncing it with the pinch gesture being performed so the current tab scales down in sync with the gesture, that way it's not an all-or-nothing action and if it's being triggered accidentally the user can see that straight away and just release the trackpad causing the tab to return to full size/abort the action.

For reference here's a comparison of Orion's on-off toggling vs Safari's smooth gesture handling:

adamaveray Agreed, good idea

Vlad is this still a planned feature? Was going to submit a feature request for this but I see this one's been pending for a while. I never want to see the zoomed out tab view and would really like to be able to remove the pinch to zoom out triggering that view if possible.

Have an option to disable pinch to open tab overview, or tab overview completely.
Some users seem not to use it and only be slightly annoyed by it happening accidentally.

I typed the above before finding this post. I agree.

Have a great week!

Please implement this — it's very annoying and one of the issues preventing me from switching to Orion for 100% of the time.

I was about to create a new suggestion when I found this suggestion already.

So many time I apparently pinched although I was just casually scrolling around.
There is the possibility to disable pinch on the macOS settings for the whole system but I still require the zooming functionality on other applications.

Would REALLY appreciate if there would be a possibility to disable this in Orion Settings.
