@BrayanDSO this one feels like a UX decision, it's been "flip & answer" for a long while

[BrayanDSO]

This is ultimately a request to add an option to select the card side for a gesture.

It has been that way for some years now, and I haven't seen any complaint, so the best that I can give is a low priority.

But even with all the previous improvements, I still think that the controls selection UX is too cumbersome to add more stuff into it.

I suggest improving it first, by:

• Not using a simple ListPreference dialog as the main configuration place
• Selecting the card side somewhere else than in a separate dialog
• Make the joystick dialog usable for common people

Only after that is that I would consider working on details like this one

I want to do those

I use swipe right/left gestures for answering my cards. It enables me to swipe twice in the same direction to answer any card. With this implemented, will I have to have another gesture to flip the card and then use the other ones?
