This change is extremely restrictive to the design of the app, so I think I will have to veto this. For back navigation, I strongly encourage you to try using Android's gesture navigation system instead.

I didn't realise it would be so restrictive. That's fair.
A lot of UI elements rely on horizontal swiping. It essentially interferes with all of them. Its why gesture navigation uses the edges of the screen.
It was just something I got used to using in Sync and have been missing, but I didn't understand it was that much of a headache. If I understood what it meant I probably wouldn't have asked, sorry. I'm not a programmer at all so I really have no idea whether something is easy or complicated to implement.
No problem at all.
