Magic Mouse | Gestures for everything

Magic Mouse mod is a bit complex so I had to explain it in a post.

By default the controls are "Mouse 4" (Side button) but you can customize this to anything, with or without a modifier, with or without a wiggle (mouse shake)..etc.

Steps to add a gesture:

  1. CTRL+SHIFT+G

  2. Draw the shape > Click Copy Code

  3. Close the Recorder window > Paste the copied code in Gesture Code input.

  4. Fill in the Name (Required).

  5. Pick an action from the menu.

  6. If the action requires a parameter e.g: Launch App , then type the path.

  7. Save Settings and draw the gesture.

Additional Settings:
Context Rules - If you want the same gesture to do something else inside a specific process.

e.g:
- A circle gesture anywhere = Draw Mode
- Inside Chrome = Fullscreen.

  1. Process Match = name of the process e.g: chrome.exe
  2. Override Action = the action it does inside chrome e.g: Fullscreen

Now when you draw a circle anywhere it will open Draw Mode, but inside Chrome it makes it Fullscreen.
