Mozilla Gestures Toolbar:

rapid execution of common browser commands with mouse movements
---> get v 0.3.4

What are mouse gestures?

Mouse movements in combination with a click-hold and optionally a modifier execute the following commands:


Version History -- Pre mozdev

0.0.2 -- Event Listeners installed on each new page load. Back, Forward implemented.
0.0.1 -- Toolbar installs. Configuration converted to XUL.

Bugs

  • On linux, scrolling outside of the bounds of the scroll bar triggers a new window gesture. Preventing this relies on the implementation of onscroll (Bug 35011). This can be avoided with the use of the modifier key.
  • Popups show toolbar even if they are toolbarless. Puzzling, as this is a toolbar overlay.
  • On/Off radio button may be mangled at startup. Should fix on 2nd launch.
