Mouse Gestures for Safari 4+

Finally I can switch to Safari

I was using Firefox because of lack of a good gesture extension. This extension helped me make the move to Safari. It is a quite good extension and pretty easy to use. The only thing I miss is having gestures on links. I could open links in background, foreground depending on the gesture defined for the links in my previous Firefox extension. Dragging link to somewhere else is a bit cumbersome and it doesn’t provide an option other than always opening it in the background. But in general, I am quite happy with it.

Really happy to have mouse gestures in Safari

I've been using Firefox Developer Edition for years, but have been dipping my toes into using Safari for work. One of the things that I loved about Firefox was the FoxyGestures plugin. I have completely internalized its workflows into my brain and cannot live without it. This extension for Safari does basically everything that I ever did with FoxyGestures.

The only bit of constructive feedback I have to offer is that the extension settings are unreadable when the system is using dark mode. It was simple to put it into light mode to be able to read the descriptions of the functions available, but some people may not immediately think to try this.

Thank you very much for this excellent extension!

Developer Response ,

Hello meltmade,
thank you for pointing out the issue with settings in dark mode. Going to fix it asap :-)

Brilliant extension with a minor issue

This is a brilliant extension! However, there is some issue with the trackpad. When the right mouse button is used to invoke gestures, the track pad may need to double finger click twice to invoke the right click function (open the menu, etc.). Is it possible to optimize this behavior? Thanks.
