This is the new-style &#8220;glide your fingers over the surface of the mouse&#8221; gestures (treat the top of your mouse like an iPhone).<\/p>\n<p>Great little app. Even has a decent UI, and options for exporting\/importing settings, so you can setup some very complex setups on a per-app basis, share them with colleagues, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple added some of the earliest, best *hardware* support for mouse and trackpad gestures (2-finger swipes, pinch\/zoom, etc), but has been very slow to add support for gestures to their *software*.
