I am an avid user of mouse gestures.
As you would assume, I am a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures.
If you are a Linux user, you’re free to try Easystroke for mouse gestures in Linux.
Easystroke is a gesture recognition tool for Linux.
In any case, you could use it with a simple 2-button mouse just as easily.
Let’s get started and load the system so you might start using mouse gestures in Linux.
you might add Easystroke PPA toyour software sourcesand then install usingapt.
Now simply issue “sudo apt-get install easystroke” and the rest will be done for you.
I would suggest that you hop over to the preferences tab straight away.
You should add a modifier key such as Shift, Ctrl, etc.
to prevent normal mouse drags from being mistaken as a gesture and control when exactly to perform a gesture.
It will then be added to the exception list.
Next up, you oughta create gestures and configure them to run custom commands.
you might then choose from amongst the different actions that you might perform with the gesture.
you might run a command, send a keystroke, scroll a page and more.
Then provide the detail for the jot down you chose.
That’s it you are done.
The next time you draw a similar stroke again with Easystroke running the configured action will be executed automatically.
Do you guys use mouse gestures in Linux to perform your tasks quicker?
What are your favorite applications?
