Already suffering from mouse gesture withdrawals.

[frustratedinphoenix]

Muse gestures are the only thing keeping me from switching permanently.

to be honest, stroke it may be the most awesome thing ever, but i don't see myself using it. put gestures, adblock, and stumbleupon in chrome or ill just keep using firefox

>>And yeah, system-wide gestures are fantastic. I don't understand why they aren't standard in every OS.
I'm assuming it's because it looks silly.

Seriously, MS's corporate image would get shot to hell if they let people doodle on the screen. It isn't 'clean' enough for a business environment.

Similarly, Linux would get flamed for bloating core features with gimmicks.

Mac might pull it off though. They thrive on the whole 'unconventional' thing, and target a younger market. Gestures would fit right in with the mood of their multicolored ipod sock lineup, and they're already seen as UI pioneers with the iPhone.

Let me also raise my hand, err, mouse gesture in agreement. I still make mouse gestures to navigate and get that "it's broken" sensation.

I started up Chrome to quickly check the Forum -- because it starts so fast. But I'll be on back on FireFox shortly. Got to have Addblock Plus as well as well as FireGestures.

Never found moues gestures to be a major time saver, then again I use a tablet most of the time so can do loads of things with a flick of the pen.

I like the fact I can use my shuttle to scroll through long test automatically in chrome. Had to set IE up to do it.

I don't get it. Here is a program (StrokeIt) which is light weight, unobtrusive and configurable to make mouse gestures possible in any windows application or browser incl Chrome and people are complaining about it?

You can't really teach StrokeIt to open a link you started your gesture at, can you? That's why you need a plug-in...
