Using mouse gestures across Linux

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:00:00 GMT
My first brush with mouse gestures on the Opera browser was an accident, but the ability to quickly move backward or forward in the browser history, open new windows, close tabs, and more without using the menus or moving the mouse toward the navigation toolbar won me over immediately. Nowadays, this feature is available in Firefox and Konqueror too, and you can even configure mouse gestures for GNOME and KDE desktop environments.

NAME
input-linux-mouse - Direct mouse input SYNOPSIS
input-linux-mouse: [<mousetype>] [,<file>] [,[b<bauds>][r<rts>][d<dtr>]] DESCRIPTION
This input opens a file (usually a device file or pipe) and reads mouse protocol data from it. OPTIONS
mousetype Indicates what type of mouse is attached. The following types are supported: o ms, Microsoft : Two button Microsoft compatible mice. o ms3, IntelliMouse, mman+ : Serial Intellimouse or compatible. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+. o MouseSystems, msc : MouseSystems compatible (used in most 3-button mice). o Logitech, logi : Used in older Logitech serial mice. o mm, MMSeries : MM series mice. o Sun : Sun mice. The protocol is the same as 'msc' protocol except it used only 3 bytes per packet. o MouseMan, mman : MouseMan protocol. o BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice. o LinuxUSB, lnxusb : IMPS2 that doesn't choke on USB (no init attempted). o ps2, PS/2 : PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this protocol) o imps2, IMPS/2 : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB, see lnxusb for that.) o mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible. Most of the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be specified. If you find one that isn't, please report. The special value auto tells input-linux-mouse to read ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse, and if that fails, $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux- mouse. If none of the two files are found, input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect the mouse, and as a last resort uses the mouse information specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config. file The file to read mouse protocol data from; defaults to /dev/mouse. baud Baud rate of mouse device. rts Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a number greater than 0. dtr Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a number greater than 0. FEATURES
