don't have native Mouse Gestures

I never understood mouse gestures - first thing i disable in any software.

I tend to move my mouse when i think or do things -i guess its like doodling- and that triggers stuff at random.  :tellme:

Mouse Gestures are an absolute MUST for me!

Opera is good. The FF ones are ok. There's a plugin for IE that sucks. But what I've found the best are the ALToolbar Mouse Gestures. They rock! They are so good that I switched back to IE for them. (Well, that and a couple other things in it, especially the search features -- they're much faster.)

I use system-wide mouse gestures thanks to StrokeIt.

- Is that "almost" or 'each&every program included' -system-wide?

StrokeIt hasn't been updated for 3 yrs. Does it have any problems?

well, which ever program I feel like using mouse gestures in. Mainly in Firefox though.

You can easily add the window class of the program in which your desired mouse gestures should work.

Em, you know, you have to press an action key and "draw" the gesture before triggering any action ;D

For a mouse gesture to work, the mouse button (usually the right one) has to be held (and released to end the gesture).

None that I've ever noticed.

... From the link I provided : http://www.miniie.com/ you can see th...

... I suggest you take a look at the Donut family from Japan.


- this is confusing me:
You imply that you read Chinese but suggests we should look at something from Japan.  :-\

Besides, their site is not listing any version numbers to be read in Arabic (Latin) digits.

Edit:
And whatsmore: I have maybe 700 fonts, but miniIE has not chosen to use any of them...
Yes, I can read Chinese, and yes, I can read Japanese too, anything wrong with that?  :-\

well, they do (or did) list updates in Arabic (Latin) digits in their "update log" section on their site :
http://miniie.com/MiniIE/Home/MiniIE_Update_Log.htm#MiniIE.com

I mentioned both MiniIE from China and Donut from Japan since MiniIE is one that uses little memory, while Donut uses little disk space and is more portable.
