Web browsing on a webOS device is usually a great experience, but one complaint we often hear is about the lack of keyboard shortcuts for things such as paging up and down. While there are no built-in keyboard shortcuts for the browser, webOS did add the ability to use the gesture area to scroll up and down a full page, but only while in landscape mode. So, to take advantage of this feature, make sure you are browsing in landscape mode and then just perform a Forward Swipe to scroll down one page or a Back Swipe to scroll up one page. Note that if you have Advanced Gestures enabled, the Full Swipe will still perform a quick switch between your open cards without first going into card view.

The forward swipe is the exact opposite of the Back Swipe: a half-swipe from left-to-right in the gesture area.

However, some 3rd party developers have created unique uses for the “forward swipe”, such as the app TweetMe, which maps the forward swipe as the "ultimate back swipe" to bring you back all the way to your main Twitter timeline, no matter how many levels in to the app you are.
