Probably many after working with touch panel tablet or modern phoneexperience some discomfort when using a regular mouse on a regular computer. However, few people use, and many know very little about mouse gestures. Perhaps the reason for this ignorance is that few programs can understand gestures. However, in Opera this control method was implemented as a regular operation in the 5th version. And for browsers Firefox and Google chrome this feature can be added using extensions.
What are mouse gestures?
Mouse gestures (English mouse gestures) is a way to control the browser (or program) using mouse movements. These movements form teams. It is as if you draw a sign with the mouse, which serves as a command. It usually looks like this: you press and hold the right mouse button and draw the desired shape with the mouse. Usually these are the simplest movements - from left to right or vice versa, from top to bottom and vice versa, and (a little more difficult) down and to the right, and so on. Drawing commands can be faster and easier than searching for the desired menu item. It also makes the work easier for those who find it difficult to use the keyboard.
The problem of using mouse gestures
The biggest problem with gesture use is the lack of common standards for gesture use and display. Each of the programs does it differently. For example, in Opera mouse gestures is a built-in feature that you only need to enable and use the ready-made gestures.

Now let's take a closer look at how mouse gestures can be used for the most frequently performed operations. Here's one example: Press and hold the key Ctrl on your keyboard and scrolling with the mouse wheel will zoom the page.

What about other browsers?
In other browsers, as usual, the lack of functionality is very convenient to pick up using extensions. Experts recommend for Mozilla Firefox use Firegestures ... In the extension's settings, you can assign your own gestures that are convenient for you. And here it is much more convenient to edit gestures than in Opera or Chrome .
For example, you can make the following settings:
- Down gesture - Close the tab (this is faster than finding the cross on the tab, or pressing Ctrl + W);
- Upward gesture - Open the source of the page (this is faster than pressing Ctrl + U);
- Left gesture - Add to Bookmarks (this is faster than pressing Ctrl + D);
- Right gesture - Save the picture (it's faster than clicking on the picture).
For Google chrome mouse gestures are also added via plugins. Many people call the best plugin Smooth Gestures , but its development has now been completed. There is also a plugin Gestures for Chrome (TM).
More secrets of the mouse in browsers
Not everyone knows that mouse wheel there is one interesting purpose. This wheel can be used not only to scroll the page, but also as a button. If you click the wheel on a link on a page, it will open in a new tab, while you remain in the same window. You can safely finish reading the article while the page opens in a new window. There are a few more secrets that are no longer secrets for many for a long time, but for the sake of completeness of the review, it is still worth telling about them.
