とても便利な拡張機能で重宝しています。しかし「undefined」になったマウスジェスチャーを追加してから、マウスジェスチャーの新たな作成ができなくなりました。「undefined」の削除もできない状態です。もし良ければお調べいただけると幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。追記　2025/05/15 10:32 設定のエクスポートを編集してインポートしたら解決できました。現在は問題なく利用できています。

Unable to add new gesture anymore. The status keeps showing "undefined" regardless of any gesture movements or clicks. Please fix.

Excellent extension! Could you please add an option to not close the last tab for "Close tab" gesture?
