Mouse Gestures: Which to use?

Post by submeg » 18 Feb 2020, 06:07

Hi all,

I just purchased a Wacom Intuos Pro, and I wanted to enable mouse gestures as triggers for hotkeys.

I just ran a quick search, and found quite a few threads about this:
I'm assuming that @lexikos' script is the most robust, but which is a) the most current/updated and b) easiest to implement?

I've had a play around, but without success. Before I spend time getting this to work, I just wanted to start in the right direction with a script that is operational and easy to get off the ground, as I know I will tweak it along the way. Cheers!

Does anyone know where there's a current/active copy of Lex' Mouse Gestures? The download link returns a 404 error.

Been using StrokeIt for years now. I find this to be the fastest and most reliable option out there. It can still be downloaded but I don't think it's being updated anymore. It beats out StrokesPlus by a mile. Just google it, you'll find it

Thanks @scriptor2016, I went to look at StrokeIT, but I realised that would be another thing I would need to ask IT to approve and install. So I'm going to have to stick with AHK scripts for the moment.

Sorry this might be an reply to an old thread but here goes. If you look up Radial Dial by Learning One at https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=12078
There is a section for mouse gestures thats great. Plus im sure with that pad you'll appreciate the Radial Dial. Cheers!

The one I have been currently using and very bloat-free

GetMouseGesture() - as simple as mouse gestures

In the end, I settled on @Pyonkichi's MouseGestureL. It's fantastic! Have been using this for over a year now, and it's one of the central aspects of my AHK library.
