MacGesture 2

Configurable global mouse gesture for macOS.

Multiple issues are reported in Sierra. Please file issues and roll back to earlier versions before we fix all of them.

You can read this README in About section.

Feature

Global mouse gesture recognition
Filter app by their bundle name (as a consequence, the apps without bundle identifiers are skipped and filtering by process name is on the road map)
Configure and send shortcut by gesture

Preview

The format of gesture

Gesture	Acronym
Left	L
Up	U
Right	R
Down	D
Mouse L	Z
Wheel U	u
Wheel D	d

Gesture can contain wildcard matching(‘?’ and ‘*’).

The first rule matching will take effect.

Z is the acronym of pinyin of ‘左’ which means ‘left’ in English. So to distinguish ‘clicking the left mouse’ from ‘dragging your mouse left-ward’, we chose ‘Z’.

Wheel directions may vary according to system configurations or some system tweaks (Karabiner’s Reverse Vertical Scrolling, for example).

Tips

If you want to achieve something like this:

Right click, drag upwards, then every ‘u’ triggers a ‘Next Tab’, every ’d' triggers a ‘Prev Tab’, without releasing right mouse.

Then, create a rule like this:

Gesture	Filter	Action	Note	Trigger on every match
U*d	safari\|chrome	“shift-command-]”	“Next Tab”	Checked
U*u	safari\|chrome	“shift-command-[”	“Prev Tab”	Checked

If you want to export and import MacGesture preferences:

Recommended way:

Use the buttons ‘Import’ and ‘Export’ in the ‘General' Panel.

Geek-ish way: (the underlying way as well)

Open a terminal, Do this in your old computer:

shell defaults read com.codefalling.MacGesture backup.plist

And then copy that file to your new computer, then:

shell defaults import com.codefalling.MacGesture backup.plist

You should get your preferences back now. If is doesn’t, file an issue on the project home.
