Below are instructions for adjusting mouse gestures on Microsoft Edge.

Instructions for adjusting Microsoft Edge mouse gestures

Step 1:

We update the Microsoft Edge browser to the latest version, then click on the gear in the toolbar on the right side of the screen, then select Settings .

Switch to the management items interface for Microsoft Edge browser. Here we click on the Appearance management group , then look next to activate Enable Mouse Gesture mode .

Step 2:

Continue clicking on Configure Mouse Gestures to adjust mouse gestures. Note, you should set the mouse operation on Microsoft Edge differently from the mouse operation on the Touchpad to avoid confusion.

In the next interface, you will see gesture options for the mouse for us to set up. Click on each gesture to set the action you want to use for the mouse on Microsoft Edge.

You continue to adjust the mouse operation for other gestures to use on the Microsoft Edge browser.

Step 3:

In addition, the mouse gesture adjustment option on Microsoft Edge also has the Show Mouse Track and Show Action Hint options . With the Show Mouse Track option, the mouse movement path will be displayed and the second option is a signal representing gesture actions.

In case the user wants to cancel all mouse gesture settings on Microsoft Edge, just click Reset all gestures.

Then all settings for mouse gestures will be removed and returned to the original default settings.
