by Void, 5 years agoLatest update made it worse!
I've loved this addon for a long time, however (as other reviews have pointed out) the latest update changed the way it logs gestures and I find this far, far worse. I have a 'C' shape for closing a tab, if I draw this at my normal speed, it picks it up about 50% of the time. I keep finding myself doing actions I don't intend now because if the way it picks up gestures whereas it used to work so smoothly because each motion was logged, now it seems more loose and undefined, I do not enjoy it.
It's really sad to see this happen because I think it already worked very well, if I could revert to the previous version then I would do.
Please, I do hope that you can change it back or make the new method work a little better so I don't have to do everything really slowly, I prefered the super fast motions I could do before in a blur to do 10 things in a second and now I have to slow myself, it feels sluggish.
Sorry for the negative review, it's not what I'd like to do for an addon I've recommended to countless people since I got it.

posted 5 years agoWith version 3.0.4 there was an update of the matching algorithm. You can activate it in the settings. This should work better for you. See: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/releases/tag/v3.0.4

- Rated 3 out of 5by Dru_Wave, 2 months agoHey dev can you add support for wacom tablet input or no? The issue: Even though without the extension there is no discernible difference between holding right mouse button with my pen while hovering the above the tablet to drag the cursor downwards compared to if I use mouse to do so, but with the extension installed only the mouse is able to activate gesturefy. For some reason the pen input still just activates the right click menu. I would definitely use this if it worked with my pen (edit. I just read the "it's only suited for mice and not touchpads" under the about section, I am unsure if that is intended to also apply to wacom tablet/ windows ink input. If nothing else maybe add them to the disclaimer so people using a pen input don't feel inclined to ask for features that you don't plan adding on or can't add for somereason.)

posted 2 months agoI'm open to support Wacom tablets. I know that at least some users are already successfully using Gesturefy with Wacom tablets. However I need assistance in testing and finding the cause of your issue. So if you are interested please open an issue here https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues and we can work things out together. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18670937, 2 months ago
