[touch] gestures for Quick-Save-Load

[Mattock]

Hello,
I'm thinking about adding gestures for touch-devices for Quick-Save and -Load
for keyboard I would say the common default is "F5" and "F9".
I'm looking for opinions and if somebody seen gestures used.

I wanna do it for RenPy (but I think this is not tied to one single engine)
(and I'm here gonna use the RenPy-syntax: e.g. "s_e" is south-east, i.e. you swipe down and then right without lifting your finger on your device).

The "single" gestures do have standard "functions" already.
(e.g. in RenPy: n:menu ; s:hide_ui ; w:rollback ; e:skip)

so minimum would be a "two-swipe", my favorite for Quickload would be: s_e
a "L" (for load)
and the opposite: n_w
(as . . w_s_e_s_w . . which would resemble a "S", is just too long/complicated...)
for Quicksave

but 'Im up for suggestions like . . n_s_n_s . . . or . . . w_e_w_e . . also...

I'm up for kinda everything, if you got some reason for it!


greetings

inbetween I tried "e_s" for quicksave(coz it's the start of "S") but it happened not only once that I activated "skipping"("e") when I wanted to quicksave....
so imho it's better to start with "n" or "s" coz if these get wrongly executed it's no harm(menu or hide-ui)
while as both "w" and "e" could be harmful(esp. if I want to save the game) as them are "rollback" or "skip"
