Eight Mouse Gestures will increase your productivity, by saving you time and effort. In half a second, by an unique tiny move, you will go back to the previous page, open links in new tabs, jump to the top of a page or even bring back closed tabs.
You want to surf efficiently, right now, with no efforts? Eight Mouse Gestures was made for you. No need to learn complicated gestures. No need to draw some pentagon just to reload a page. No need to dig into a bunch of options for hours (in fact there is no options at all!). Eight Mouse Gestures was thought to be ready-to-use, straightforward, fast and yet powerful.
How does it work ?
To use this mouse gesture add-on, hold the right-mouse button (hold the right click), move in one direction and then release the right mouse button. You can use diagonal directions. Hence, you have eight different features for the eight different direction : this gives you Eight Mouse Gestures (smart, right?). If you do the gesture on a link, you have some different features.
Here, a list of the features, for the all the different directions, depending if you started to hold the right button on a link or not.
If you do NOT start to hold the right-button on a link
West (Left) : Go back in history
East (Right) : Go forward in history
North (Up) : Open a new empty tab
South (Down) : Close the current tab
NW (North West, diagonal Up-Left) : Scroll to the top of the page
SW (South West, diagonal Down-Left) : Scroll to the bottom of the page
NE (North East, diagonal Up-Right) : Reload the page
SE (South East, diagonal Down-Right) : Open lastly closed tab
If you DO start to hold the right-button on a link
West (Left) : Go back in history (The same as if there was no link)
East (Right) : Go forward in history (The same as if there was no link)
North (Up) : Open link in a new active tab
South (Down) : Open link in a new windows
NW (North West, diagonal Up-Left) : Scroll to the top of the page (The same as if there was no link)
SW (South West, diagonal Down-Left) : Scroll to the bottom of the page (The same as if there was no link)
NE (North East, diagonal Up-Right) : Open link in a new background tab (it means that the link loads in a new tab while you keep staying on your current tab)
SE (South East, diagonal Down-Right) : Open link in a new private windows

- (2021-08-19) Twideem Civs: 我終於找到功能正常、從不失效的滑鼠手勢了！ 雖然手勢寫死，但無論滑鼠右鍵開啟連結、或者第一次進瀏覽器的第一頁，這個擴充都能正常發揮作用，不像其他滑鼠手勢在很多場合會失效。 手勢習慣就好，功能是不是每次都發揮作用比較重要！有了這 Eight Mouse Gestures，現在我可以安心使用沒內建滑鼠手勢的網頁瀏覽器了！ 感謝 Marc Bourrez 設計了這麼棒的擴充！
