Title: [request] Mouse Gestures
Post by: dragyn on October 13, 2003, 03:12:43 pm: I don't know how to write plugins but if someone is looking for something to do, try this:

MyIE2 has something called 'Mouse Gestures'. Basically you can perform commands with just the mouse.

example:

hold left, click right: goto next track
hold right, click left: goto previous track

hold right, up, down: refresh views

etc etc

I think something like this could benifit MC usage. What do you think and who is up for it?

Personally I use the keyboard more than my mouse so I like my keyboards to have multimedia keys.

But it would be pretty simple to do ... just setup a global mouse hook (SetWindowsHookEx/WH_MOUSE) and watch for the appropriate button presses/mouse movements ... and no I'm not offering to do it :D

This sounds like a job for mouseman.

I dont find it too easy to use keyboard navigation in MC thou - do you?

It's sweet, I wish that it was universal. Right-drag to the left a bit, and it goes back.
