Mouse gestures

The main reason why I'm using Firefox is the mouse gestures extension. Actually I installed Firefox just to try this extionsion, after a friend told me about it and I was curious to see how it works. I got hooked, and I can't really use a browser without it.

What I don't understand is why aren't there more programs using mouse gestures? I know Opera has them, but I wish the file browser had it and maybe even office applications. It's so convenient!

It is catching up, slowly. If you're using Linux and KDE you can enable mouse gestures in Konqueror, the default KDE web browser and file manager.

StrokeIt (http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit) adds gestures to IE and allows customization of gestures for many applications.



But this still does not answer your question :) I guess it's because there has not been demand for such features and because most of the programmers who design application software do not seek and do not adopt innovation themselves. Said in other words: poor marketing and poor job at interface design.
