Enabling Mouse Gestures for Cocoa Apps

Posted by pudge on from the i-have-trouble-remembering-my-own-name-sometimes dept.

Buhaina writes "One Gerd Knops has released version 1.0 of his Cocoa Gestures software, enabling Cocoa applications to use mouse gestures for activating common commands. This is very similar to the OptiMoz project for Mozilla and can be activated on a per-application basis."

    I've had these installed for a while and some seem useful, I've also noticed them not always working and/or slowing my machine down. I'd like a system-wide set of gestures for minimizing windows, etc, but this is for individual cocoa apps only.

  2. CocaGestures can do that different... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hi,

    With CocoaGestures you can have the same gesture do two different things, depending on which menu items are enabled. You cann assign the same gesture to close a tab AND close a window, making sure the close tab one is higher in the list. Now the same gesture will close a tab IF a tab is displayed, otherwise it will close the window.

    End of your problem...
