This excellent small piece of software was what I was missing in standard Windows interface for a long time. I had similar functionality in Opera, than later in Firefox via extension, and now, just any program I want to have mouse gestures support will have it. Works perfectly, makes my everyday use of computer more efficient.. Very recommended!

Very powerful program, uses little to no memory, quickly resize, minimize, close programs, right to go forward, left to go back, and open programs by drawing such a w for web browser, and c for close.. etc, and it's very customizable all without lifting a finger on the keyboard, or looking up, down, whatever also it's very much like firefox's mouse gestures, but i disabled it on firefox so it wouldnt override mouse gestures, this is a definite try..

Cheetah speed with every Windows task! Just like brandishing a sword you will open and close folders and programs, run applications, surf on the web, ALL through the simply gestures you choose to set within StrokeIt. And you can rec your own. As an example, I browse on the net and ON EXPLORER TOO by simply moving left and right my mouse + Right clicking it. I close any open object by moving it (that is, from up-left to down-right) Really... if you try this program, you can't do without it anymore and it becomes a necessary installation every time you re-install Windows. It does completely change the way you interact with you OS. I think there's nothing better than StrokeIt apart from, maybe, speech control (which however isn't perfect and requires a lot of $$$). Sure download!

Been using this app for about a year and I have to say I don't think I could live without it now. System wide mouse gestures, massively flexible. Tiny memory footprint, simple gesture system, excellent recognition, plus teach it your own gestures. I always find myself performing gestures on other computers now. This is how a program should be made. One for the desert island disks.

Stroke-It is fabulous! Mouse gestures for everything and all in 250k of memory. Everything should be coded so well.

This is a "if you could only have 5 programs in the FREE world on your computer, what would they be LEADER!" I've been using gestures since the old versions of the Opera browser. This program is a direct growth from those simple controls. the ability to add global gestures to your OS, or to progs that dont support gestures is "geek crack". Since I've found it, its become something that I NEED LIKE AIR!!!..... AHhh, air's overrated. And this program is understated!

I'm using it for while and I think it's great! Now I can check my mail with only 1 mouse move (instead of starting few programs manually). It has clear interface, so anyone can understand what to do with it, and possibility to create new gestures and define actions is really good! However, some bugs still need to be fixed.

Mouse gestures for everything!

Overall:

Mouse gestures are available for some software and are one of the biggest time savers around. Hold the right button down and draw an "M" and your mail program opens. Draw a "G" to open a new Google search. Draw a simple "" to close the current window or a "/" to maximize it.. StrokeIt adds (different, if desired) mouse gestures to practically ANY software (allowing individual deactivation as well) , and it easily learns your own new gestures. As a sufferer from mouse finger arthritis, it has reduced my daily pain to near zero. I can barely stand to use a computer without it. And to top it off, the developer listens to the active user community... and the program is FREE. How can you beat that?
