developing Core requirement
Path-based gesture not relied on
Summary in Plain English
A gesture that has to follow a particular path - a swipe, a drag along a line - cannot be the only way to do something, unless the path is essential.
Why It Matters
Path gestures require fine motor control and a pointer that can be dragged accurately, which rules out switch users, many voice users and people with tremor.
Scope: When This Applies
The draft's own conditions, quoted from guidelines/groups/input-operation/input-operation/path-based-gesture-not-relied-on.md.
Except when
- A path-based gesture is essential to the functionality.
