About MacGesture
MacGesture recognises mouse gestures drawn while holding the right button and turns them into keyboard shortcuts. Gestures are written as short strings of directions, clicks and wheel movements, can use wildcards, and each rule can be limited to or excluded from particular apps by bundle identifier.
It is a small background utility for people who want browser-style gestures across the whole system. The latest release is 3.2.0 from January 2023; it is available from GitHub releases or as a Homebrew cask and checks for updates itself.
