Mouse Gestures
Note
- KDE SC version 4.4.4
The place where you start is ""
Enabling mouse gestures
In the bottom left corner of the window there is a button. Make sure that the checkbox is checked. Set the timout as you see fit. The mouse button might be different for you, I chose 3 for using the right mouse button. If you want input actions to be enabled automatically, check the "Start the input Actions daemon on login" above.
Creating the Mouse gestures actions group
Right click on the left pane (in an empty area under the list of action groups) and choose , rename that group to "Mouse Gestures" and check the checkbox attached to its name.
Creating a new mouse gesture
From now on I will assume that the new group is called "Mouse Gestures". Right click on and choose (here there are three options but I didn't manage to work with "Send Keyboard Input") using "Command/URL" or "D-Bus Command" you will need to create a gesture and bind an action to it.
To create the gesture
Click on your and select the tab. in the bottom of the screen there is an button (click it). In the box that just opened draw your gesture using the left mouse button.
To bind an action
if you chose simply enter that command/url under the tab at the field.
Examples using Command/URL
Fënster zoumaachen
This command will let you close the next window you mouse click on.
Note
Command/URL: wmctrl -c :SELECT:
to close the active window
Command/URL: wmctrl -c :ACTIVE:
Translate clipboard content
This command will display a translation of the current clipboard content.
- Required for this are:
- xclip
- libtranslate
Command/URL: kdialog --title "Translation" --msgbox "`xclip -o | translate -f en -t he -`"
Replace 'en' and 'he' with the desired source and destination language, if you are not sure, a full list of language codes is available from the ISO 639-2 list.
Examples using D-Bus
If you chose D-Bus, here are few examples.
Finding out what to fill where, is done with the help of the "Launch D-Bus Browser", using that browser you can find what method you wish to call in what application object. Using D-Bus we need to fill some fields, the field name will be regular and the content italic.
Runner
This will display the Runner dialog.
