Hi Raul, The single finger double tap and hold gesture is the pass through gesture because it is telling VO to pass the command gesture directly to iOS rather than interpreting the gesture.
In my reading of other chapters, I do not recall reading any swipe in the manual. I was not specifically searching for it, however, so was not reading as critically. Currently, I would state with 80% to 90% confidence that flick is a quick, short movement, whilst slide is a long movement. Swipe is not used. Therefore, if the gesture is fairly short after pass through, such as bringing up delete in certain cases, the word would be flick. On the other hand, if the gesture is a long movement, such as moving up or down the letter picker in contacts and music, the word is slide.
