Principle 2: Operable · Guideline 2.5: Input Modalities
What each role can do
- Product manager

- Developer
- Provide click or tap equivalents for pinch, multi-finger and swipe-path gestures.
- Tester
- Operate every gesture-driven feature with a single pointer and no dragging.
Once it is fixed
“Plus and minus buttons! One tap and I'm zooming like everyone else.”
