Re: [platform-ui-dev] Opera/Mozilla style mouse/pen gesture recognition

The cut action came into my way a couple
of times today. There's need for configurability
through preferences, similar to key
bindings.

When I was looking over James' shoulder the other
day, he was showing me 
the gestures stuff.
Being left-handed, he found most accelerators to be annoying since they
typically assume the left hand is on the keyboard, whereas his is usually
kept on the mouse.
There are sometimes alternates (e.g. Ctrl+Ins / Shift+Ins for Copy/Paste),
but there aren't for operations like Save.
I would expect gestures to be a help here.

Opera/Mozilla style mouse/pen gesture recognition 
inEclipse



I went back home and turned the feature on in Opera and I like it a lot.
I haven't used it extensively yet in Eclipse, but my first impressions
are: 

1) great for navigation w/o requiring to use the keyboard or move big 
distances with the mouse to hit the tool bar button. 
2) no benefit for editing (copy, cut) or saving operations (you are 
already using the keyboard anyway) 

I think that Eclipse can and should act like a browser when one is 
browsing 
through a lot of source code.

It's an *experiment*, Randy.
