Mouse gestures in X

i use mouse gestures in mozilla since mozilla 0.9.9 - very usefull!! (optimoz)
shortly i ran over an app for windows, that enables gestures for all apps available in windows: http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/
funny, but since i installed it, i start to like working in windows a little bit more (no more ctrl-c ctrl-v to copy/paste, running apps by simply draw M or W or E on desktop - cool!! that should be defaultly installed on every windows by my opinion (running commands in a OS, that do not have any usefull shell is horribly primitive, but gestures make it more "usable"))
as windows is not my normal desktop and is only used, when i do ebanking, it's obvious, that having mouse gestures in X would be the next step in making the desktop more usefull
a little search resulted this:
http://www.xstroke.org/
http://gestures.sourceforge.net/
http://www.stressbunny.com/wayv/
does anybody have any experience with one of them?

he he ... i know absolutely what you mean: i also have a todo list that is more than 12kb big (well, "saving the planet" is also part of it, but i seriously plan to do this task once!!!)

ooh.. great, libstroke is on the way to extra :-)

Safari and Mouse Gestures

Safari does not have mouse gestures properties. It is hard and boring to use scrollbar all time.
Please update our Safari-s.
I love Safari and I want to use it all time. Thank you

Problem solved; I reset NVRAM. Annoying though.

Mouse gestures enabled by default???

Hey I'm getting kinda annoyed when I move my mouse the wrong way and firefox goes to the last page I visited. Now I have no idea how this mouse gesture got there, but I'd like to deactivate it. Its not a firefox gesture as far as I can tell and I never activated any desktop specific mouse gestures, so unless I accidentilly downloaded some kinda funky mouse thing with xorg (damn xorg 7 packages) I have no idea why it does this, but I'd apreciate any help I could get removing or dissabling it.

BUG: Unable to send hotkeys from StrokeIt mouse gestures [to move CTI]...

I use StrokeIt to add mouse gestures to programs. Because using mouse gestures can be faster than pressing hotkeys. So I use StrokeIt mouse gestures to send hotkey commands to Audition CS5.5. Everything is working fine except when I want to send hotkey commands to move the CTI. Nothing happens when I try to send these hotkey commands: CTRL+left, CTRL+right, home, end. This wasn't a problem back in Audition 3. Can this be fixed so that the CTI can be moved by hotkey commands from StrokeIt?
BTW: I am currently able to workaround the problem of moving the CTI to the beginning by making StrokeIt send this hotkey command: CTRL+A, esc. But I would still prefer being able to simply send the home key.

Mouse gestures in Sarafi 4?

Hey there,
the only reason i'm not switching from Firefox to Safari is that i still couldn't figure out how to use mouse gestures. I just love to be able to close a tab just by making a mouse gesture.
I saw that there is the "Installed Plugings" menue entry so i was wondering if there is a mouse gesture plugin out there that i just couldn't find so far.
Thanks for any hint,
nice greetings

I would recommend xGestures. Works like a charm and is cheap. It gives you gestures anywhere, not only in Safari.

Apple magic mouse gestures on Lion

Hi all
I just checked in this forum but didn't found a clear answer so I ask this question
Are the Apple magic mouse gestures working on Mac OS Lion ?
I just bought one 2 days ago and even recognized and in Preference panel all necessary check boxes checked no way to have the gestures working.
Thanks
Regards
BKantique

Sorted !!!!
I go back to the retailer and change the mouse and then once installed the new mouse doh !! still nothing..
After looking around in several forums about Lion issue suddenly I remember of a software I installed some months ago which is taking in charge USB (USB overdrive) and once inside I discovered that the mouse was attached to it...
Then I uninstall this software and restart my MBP and now my mouse works perfectly well all gestures supported, battery level shows and so on .....
What a waste of time but it's my fault just install this software in order to use a game pad which didn't worked and even with this software still continue to not being recognize by my games.... so loss for me to uninstall it anyway..

I just purchased Lion OS and I can't get the mouse gestures to work at all [2009 MacBook]

I just purchased Lion OS and I can't get the mouse gestures to work on my MacBook.

This is the iMac forum- you might get a quicker response in MacBook area. But I assume you have tried the settings in the Sytem Preferences for Trackpad.

What is the mouse gesture to minimize all windows?

I am having trouble understanding the mouse gesture that minimizes all windows back into the dock. I keep on doing something which causes this to happen and I cannot figure out or find anywhere what this gesture is.

Do you mean ctrl-clicking the Composite Channel icon in the Channels Panel?

Are there mouse gestures (forward/back) for Safari like in Firefox?

I like using Safari 4, but one of the things that takes me back to Firefox are the most gestures (especially forward and back).
Are there mouse gestures I can download for Safari 4?

Sorry, you can't do that in Safari. You'd have to use a third-party program for that (xGestures; $5), which you can get here: http://alum.hampshire.edu/~bjk02/xGestures/index.htm

Windows 7 mouse gestures don't work with DW and FW

I discovered that the mouse gestures don't work with Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS4 windows. When I drag a window to the right or left, nothing happen. The gestures words fine with all other programs, even Adobe programs like Photoshop or Lightroom. Can anyone help?

Thanks Robb. I tried those options but it didn't work, but I'm posting here the final resolution in case anyone else encounters the issue.
I had the local desktop support check out his PC and it turns out that the Windows 7 screen resolution was causing the issue. The only reason it was caught is because his desktop sharing software also was not working correctly.
Within the display settings Windows 7 allows you to display text/icons larger without changing the resolution. The user's display was set at 150%. After changing to 100% (default) the desktop sharing and Essbase double clicking are working.

Mouse gesture

Hi you guys,
I have just changed from windows to mac osx, and i have a problems about safari mouse gesture.
Could you please tell me how to use/set mouse gestures (usb mouse) on Safari mac osx 10.9?
Thank you very much
Pomelo

What you describe sounds like the Smart Zoom gesture for the mouse - a gentle single-finger double-tap on the mouse will zoom the contents of a Safari window. Repeat the gesture to bring it back to normal.
This can be disabled in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click by unchecking the Smart Zoom item.

Mouse gesturing no longer works after recent update ?

Recently, after an update my magic mouse no longer functions using the swipe gestures...Anyone else with this issue?
tried to look at in in preferences bt no options there.

Helpful link from 95bulls. Here is the Apple link which deals with the more general problems one can have with an unresponding Mouse. Is the green power light working or blinking?
You don't say which update or give any details of the OS you use. Please try to find a moment to update your profile.

Problem with magic mouse gestures in safari

iMac 27", mid 2011
16 GB 1333Mhz
Using OS X Yosemite, Safari, Magic Mouse
one day no problem at all, the next day, without any new installations:
Whenever I use the swipe gesture to go back to a previous page,
It does not work and I cannot scroll on this page anymore.
Shutting down Safari and restarting it works.
I read a lot about this, it seems to be a known problem.
I did not use terminal to use direct command for remedy, but tried everything else I read:
power own the mouse, taking battery out, switching off BT for Mouse, several restarts of the iMac etc.
Nothing helps.
As I am so used to the gestures for a very long tome, it takes only seconds, before I swipe back-- and that´s it!
I have to restart Safari.
I would be very thankful for your help!
best,
Fred

Hi seventy one,

Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issuein response to Linc Davis
Hi Linc
Thank you for the extremely detailed response.
I think I have the issue solved for the minute at least.
I not only disconnected every cable from the Mac, as I had previously done, I also disconnected every cable from my peripherals and powered down every peripheral as well, then re-wired my set-up. This seems to have solved the issue. Not sure of the technical reason that this would have fixed my problem, but it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment anyway.
So, my problem is solved too!!
Many thanks
