# hasActiveUserGesture(in:)

Indicates if a user gesture is currently active in the specified tab.

```
func hasActiveUserGesture(in tab: any WKWebExtensionTab) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

`tab`

The tab for which to check for an active user gesture.

## Discussion

An active user gesture may influence the availability of certain permissions, such as `activeTab`. User gestures can be triggered by various user interactions with the web extension, including clicking on extension menu items, executing extension commands, or interacting with extension actions. A tab as having an active user gesture enables the extension to access features that require user interaction.

## See Also

[`userGesturePerformed(in:)`](/documentation/WebKit/WKWebExtensionContext/userGesturePerformed(in:))

Should be called by the app when a user gesture is performed in a specific tab.
