# Use mouse gestures

Mouse gestures offer a quick option to surf web pages without moving your hand to the keyboard. These gestures are triggered by holding the middle mouse button while performing one of the following mouse movements. If your mouse does not have a middle mouse button, you cannot use mouse gestures.

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Preferences General.

Under Browsing, switch on Mouse Gestures.

The following gestures are currently supported:

Holding the middle mouse button, dragging left, and then releasing the middle mouse button will navigate backward.

Holding the middle mouse button, dragging right, and then releasing the middle mouse button will navigate forward.

Holding the middle mouse button, dragging downwards, and then releasing the middle mouse button will create a new tab.

Holding the middle mouse button, dragging downwards and then to the right, and then releasing the middle mouse button will close the current tab.

Holding the middle mouse button, dragging first upwards and then downwards, then releasing the middle mouse button will reload the current tab.
