Under Intent, we currently have:

A path-based gesture involves an interaction where not just the endpoints matter, but how the pointer moves between these points.

If the gesture is only recognised if the user moves in a (mostly) straight line from the start point to the end point, it is an example of a path-based gesture.

That second sentence is confusing. It is an example of a common characteristic of some path-based gestures. I propose replacing it with:

Swiping is an example of a path-based gesture which is only recognized when the user moves in a (mostly) straight line from the start point to the end point.

FWIW, this came up in the context of WCAG 3 complex pointer inputs drafting. We were looking for a definition of simple pointer inputs. We used single-pointer as part of our draft glossary when we noticed single pointer input is currently just a place-holder with the WCAG 3 editors draft.

incidentally, I'm glad to see that WCAG 3 is defining the proper "single pointer input" rather than just "single pointer" ... this had been a blunder in WCAG 2 at the time (which is what caused the various contortions to address this/clarify this somehow - #3536 and #4070)

Discussed briefly on Backlog call 3/7. Agreement that there is some grammar error, but maybe could be improved.
