Hi Darryl ( @dadview )! - Thanks for the comment and upvote, as first! 🙂

But, to answer your question regarding "swipe".
I'm using it with the mouse - right click, hold it and then move it left or right. For up and down, I use mouse wheel - very gently as sometimes jumps up or down too much. 🙂
It works just fine for me, that way, on those apps that I mentioned in the article and maybe few more (all photo editing related apps). Didn't test it on other apps.

But, to be honest, I have this advantage that I have touch-screen-monitor (on my PC) so I can use it as I would use mobile phone or tablet.
The only funny thing is that I forgot about it at first as I'm using that option rarely. Therefore, I was playing around at the beginning only with the mouse (and keyboard when needed).
Now, I combine.
