hi, I’d like to propose to add Google-maps like gesture for zooming with one hand

basically you double-tap, and slide with one finger afterwards to zoom in and out

I happened to used to it so much that I try do it all the times in kinopio, but it doesn’t work as expected

that’s a handy gesture. seems like it works in Apple Maps as well as Google Maps on the web, so maybe more common than I thought. I wonder how detecting and catching double-tap will affect the current interactions.

Whoah that’s a cool gesture that I don’t think I knew about.
