Mouse Gesture Events

A browser extension enabling custom actions via mouse gestures, speeding up web browsing with intuitive and common task mappings

What is Mouse Gesture Events?

Mouse Gesture Events is a browser extension available for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Vivaldi that enables users to perform custom actions on webpages using mouse gestures. Instead of clicking menus or keyboard shortcuts, users can trigger commands by swiping or drawing shapes with their mouse cursor.

For example, you could set up a leftwards swipe to go Back a page, downwards swipe to scroll down the page, right-click + downwards swipe to open a New Tab, and so on. Many common browsing actions can be mapped to your own intuitive gesture combinations.

The extension supports multi-finger/button clicks + drags to extend the range of possible gestures. It also allows per-site customization of gestures. Advanced users can even script their own actions using Javascript.

Overall, Mouse Gesture Events helps speed up web browsing by replacing tedious menu clicking with quick and natural physical mouse movements customized to your habits. It can reduce mousing/scrolling effort over long sessions for an efficient browsing experience.
