Suggestion: Mouse Gestures ...

[spikey]

That pic was taken last year so it is a little out of date.

Not at all, not at all, my dear spikey. The resemblance is perfectly remarkable, I'd even go so far as to say astonishing! In fact you haven't aged a day since you were last exhumed.

It must be the face cream I use.

Try StrokeIt

Stroke it is a great software but it conflicts with the right mouse select files.

Is there a way to resolve this problem (without disabling TC in stroke it)?

I'd love to use TC the same way I use Firefox: using RMB to navigate tabs and MMB with StrokeIt for other functions.

PowerPro has some mouse gesture functions: bumps, strokes, wheel up/down movements, etc. The mousegesture.dll plugin allows even to write letters on the screen with mouse.

Can I use PowerPro to make rmb+left to activate left Tab, rmb+right to activate right Tab without any weird side effects using NC style selection?

[Balderstrom]

With AHK, I use NC-Mode and RMB + Wheel Up/Down to Scroll thru tabs (in that panel) like it works in Opera.

I also configured it so context menu will come up (if I haven't scrolled) when I release the RButton instead of TC's awkward delay.

Among some other tweaks

I've considered Operas Forward/Back LB+RB; RB+LB... but since TC doesn't have a per-Tab history I don't see much point in it.

I just installed PowerPro and I see it is a very advanced piece of software, which seems to take a lot of time to learn.

Can anybody point me to the simplest way of getting RMB+"drag mouse left"=focus on tab to the left

[Balderstrom]

If you aren't interested in scripting at all, you would probably be better served by looking at StrokeIt, which primarily focuses on Mouse Gestures (Although it does look like LUA Scripting has recently been added to it).

While AutoIT, AHK and PowerPro CAN monitor mouse movement and instigate actions/triggers based on that movement - it isn't their primary focus, and it will be difficult to get it error free - e.g. you'll need exceptions for (1) min-distance moved on the x-axis, (2) max distance moved, (3) how much time can occur between monitoring the start/end of the movement, along with things like preventing it when LButton is down, not overriding the RButton default behaviour, and determining whether some y-axis movement should be allowed... etc ... etc...

And if you think AHK Code is difficult, both PowerPro and AutoIT are even less user-friendly to beginners due to the strictness of their respective syntaxes.

I already use StrokeIt with MMB for other commands.

I would like to keep using it as it is now (MMB) and just add RMB mouse gestures for TC.

Can I use PowerPro to make rmb+left to activate left Tab

Yes, you can, but not directly. First you should write a script (some lines of code), and then assign its execution to rmb+left. It woudl be something like

Code: Select all

local hwnd = win.handle("c=TTOTAL_CMD")
win.postmessage(hwnd, 0x400+51, 5001, 0)

if 5001 is number of command you mean. See the PowerPro help how to assign this script to a mouse gesture.

StrokesPlus. It not conflict with TC if you hold the mouse a little longer.
