Mousegestures?
by Anon on Monday 07/Apr/2008, @13:10

The rework of the hotkeys stuff reminds me of the mouse gestures.
Iirc, someone wanted to rework the mouse gesture recognition, and there were also several possible starting points for a new codebase. Is someone still working on it, even in a 4.1 timeframe? would be really cool to have working/renewed mouse gestures and also the "rocker" gestures known from Firefox and Opera.. would be really useful to have it for navigation in Konqueror for browsing the web. With that and the latest additions to Konqueror like sessions and restoring closed tabs Konqueror wouldn't need to hide itself from a feature point of view (the rendering engine already stands out), a browser that you could recommend and use without bad conscience..

I saw someone ask maelcum (Andreas Hartmetz) about this about a month ago: It's currently "on-hold", and I think he is quite busy with other things. It sounds like there is not much to do on the "core" part (although it is fairly "advanced" work), but there is a lot to do on the front-end part, with UIs for configuring gestures to be written, etc.

I would love to see this work continued - it would even be damn handy in Kate and other apps! :)

Wait, wait, there are no mouse gestures yet in KDE4? Obviously I haven't been using it, and stuff like this would be why. I keep reading the commit digest though, waiting for the situation to change :)

Yes. The gui is there though to give false hope :)

Can we implement pie menus too? Qt has a pie menu class but only in the commercial version. I dont think there is any kde specific code for pie menus, maybe I could commit some lines if I thought the work would be appreciated...

Why do you need someone else's confirmation for this? If you want this feature and will use it it's enough to justify working on it, and given the size of the KDE community there will be hundreds at least that will appreciate it once it's done (though I have no idea what pie menus are and if I'll be one of them).
