シンプルで良いです。斜めに動かすのはイマイチなので［操作なし］にしています。下右や上右等のジェスチャがあれば便利かな。

Extremely lightweight, yet extremely poor. I´ve been using mouse gestures extensions for many years, so I already have a muscle-memory to do whatever gesture I want with the exact same mouse combo, no matter what addon I choose. But this one does not allow you to do that, since there´s no option whatsoever to change the predefined settings to your own gestures, you have to rememorize mouse actions the limited number of gestures de developer chose, that I´m not used to, since it doesn´t allow you to create your own shortcut, just by drawing it on screen, as most other extensions do. If you ever implement this absolutely BASIC feature, you might have the most efficient mouse gestures extension, but as right now, it´s virtually useless, to people like me. Best!
