WGestures: Global Mouse Gestures for Any Windows Application
Most domestic browsers already have built-in mouse gesture plugins, and Chrome or Firefox can also install mouse gesture extensions via their stores. Making good use of mouse gestures can effectively improve efficiency. However, browser plugins only allow mouse gestures within the browser, but with WGestures, you can freely use mouse gestures in any software.
Features and Highlights
- WGestures includes a large number of preset gestures.
- Search selected text anywhere with a single gesture.
- Gesture name hints: The gesture name is fed back to the screen in real-time to eliminate accidental operations.
- "Edge Swipe" allows you to swipe the mouse along the screen edge to perform routine operations, such as locking the screen or shutting down.
Known Issues
After enabling WGestures global mouse gestures, you can use them in any software without installing any plugins or extensions. However, some mysterious problems may occur during gaming, even if the game is added to the blacklist. It is recommended to exit this software while playing games.
The "Trigger Corner" and "Edge Swipe" functions are easy to trigger accidentally for beginners. If you are not particularly used to them, you can turn off these functions and keep only the mouse gestures.
Memory Usage
Another concern is memory usage. From observation, WGestures has extremely low resource consumption, around 10MB, which is more than enough for machines with small memory.
Conclusion
Since using WGestures, I have completely abandoned browser mouse gestures. Compared to them, WGestures is more convenient. When you first start using mouse gestures, you might not be willing to accept them, but once you get used to it, you will love it. If you haven't tried the convenience brought by mouse gestures, give WGestures a try; it will definitely be a refreshing experience.
