The miracle of Mouse Gestures in Windows

When Opera released a version of their browser with mouse gestures, I were hooked. Immediately. I’d repeatedly try and use mouse gestures in word documents, explorer windows, you name it. Later, when I switched to Firefox (out of unspecified reasons – I really can’t remember why) I quickly dug up an extension to feed my craving.

Just now a co-worker of mine, Bernhard, pointed me in the direction of StrokeIt. He did so under promise of violence and apocalypse after I saw him use mouse gestures in Windows. StrokeIt is a configurable gesture recognition program – that works out of the box. To get it to work with a new program, just add or edit an window identifier, then drag the finder over the application’s window. This probably need to be done if you’re using Firefox.
