Can anyone shed any light on why you can't swipe back and forward in Finder with a trackpad? The option in Settings allows for two finger swipe between pages in eg. Safari, but that doesn't extend to Finder, and I can't work out why?

I've been able to activate it using BetterTouchTool, but it seems like a truly bizarre omission, considering how much Apple have optimised macOS for trackpad use.

I don't know why I've never really thought about it before, but now I can't stop...

I've also just realised that the BetterTouchTool method doesn't translate over Universal Control. So my Mac mini's trackpad can't activate the BTT shortcut on my MacBook, and vice versa.
