  1. Re:I just tried Camino by rebug · · Score: 4, Informative · on Mozilla Camino 1.0 Released

    There are a couple gesture programs for OS X that you can use. FlyGesture is way cool, and from one of the best indie deveopers around, but at 24.95, it's a little pricey. CocoaGestures is free, but not quite as cool.

    The nice thing about either of these is that you can use them with any browser.

    If you can't wait for Tiger, try Cocoa Gestures.Works (like a charm) in every cocoa app. I highly recommend it.

    Firefox, Safari? What about Opera! I'm sick of
    being left out of the browser wars. I like my
    mouse gesture enabled browser thak you very much.


    there's nothing opera-specific about mouse enabled gestures.

    here it is for OS X, supporting all major browsers and many other apps:
    http://www.bitart.com/CocoaGestures.html

    Cocoa Gestures adds mouse gestures to any Cocoa program such as Mail, Address Book, iCal, TextEdit, Safari, Chimera, OmniWeb, Path Finder, Stone Design's great suite of applications like Create, and many others.

  4. Re:Keyboard shortcuts by lavaface · · Score: 1 · on Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice?
    A number of people have brought up the power of keyboard shortcuts. Good advice. I'd like to add that if you're getting a laptop, there are a few shortcuts that are really handy to know. In Finder, Shift-Cmd-A opens your Applications folder. Shift-Cmd-U opens utilities. To quickly select an application, type the first couple of letters in its name (enough to distinguish it from other apps) , then hit Cmd-O. This is a HUGE timesaver. Also, learn to love the searchbox in the corner of the finder windows--it searches as you type (Mail does this too) and is quite convenient.

    A final note that I haven't seen anybody else offfer: download Cocoa Gestures. This nifty app allows you to use mouse gestures for any Cocoa app (Safari, Mail) You can assign any key command or menu item to any gesture. If you get this setup, you'll feel like you're missing something when you use other setups.

    Input Managers are a better analogy, and honestly I do not install 3rd party Input Manager since I understand their behavior.
    Well, you should give this one a shot: http://www.bitart.com/CocoaGestures.html Never once caused any problems of any kind. Solid as a rock, and incredibly useful.

    camino, safari and omniweb, like every other cocoa programs, all have mouse gesture with CocoaGesture

  7. Re:Direct link by TheRaven64 · · Score: 1 · on Future Directions Proposed For Mozilla

    Lack or support for next and previous link tags is the one thing I really miss in Safari (I can get mouse gestures via the Cocoa Gestures service in any Cocoa app). Using a site like Google, which includes them, is a real pleasure with Opera. It's a shame that other browsers don't seem to support them.

    I go back and forth thru pages and tabs, open and close tabs, using Cocoa Gestures. Check it out.

    Cocoa Gestures is your answer... works in all cocoa apps -Rocks!!!

  10. Gestures for BeOS and MacOS X by stew77 · · Score: 4, Informative · on Gestures For The Linux Desktop

    I wrote something similar for BeOS - it's called FourWays. Now the trick is that all BeOS applications use BMessages for communications, and that in conjunction with SpiceyKeys, you can use gestures to control any BeOS application.

    Also, theres Cocoa Gestures for MacOS X.

  11. Re:Total Boneheadedness - Tabs are great! by wirelessbuzzers · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Major Problems With Safari

    I like Chimera a lot, but I still prefer galeon because Galeon puts close "X" buttons on each tab. If Chimera did that it would be perfect for me.

    I usually close tabs from the keyboard anyway, but for the mouse, Cocoa Gestures are much better than tab Xs (not to mention window widgets), at least if you have a wheel mouse.

    If you're using Chimera now and miss MOUSE GESTURES, there is a freeware "input method" you can install that will give you gesture support in any Cocoa program: Bitart Cocoa Gestures Highly recommeded by this Chimera/Gestures user....

  13. Re:Mac users have it easy by iotaborg · · Score: 1 · on Browse All You Want At Work

    And for us with many many buttons on our mice (5 button trackball on my part), just bind a button to cmd+h and you have it made!

    Or if you want gestures, you can get Cocoa Gestures input manager which give you fully configurable gestures in all Cocoa apps, so you can have a gesture to hide in Chimera or OmniWeb or something...
