Yes, that was what I meant. The main reason behind this is that right
button is never used to group/mass select content, hence we can
recognize this as a system wide gesture. For example, in application
list it can be used to drag/page up/page down (like in android app
list); in desktop it can also be used to drag workspaces; in the
calendar widget, it can be used to switch months; in media players, it
can be customized by _the application_ to fast back/forward.
