Add option: "Activate gestures only when RMB AND LMB are clicked"

Thanks a lot for your work on this amazing addon, I love it!

Since there are API limitations regarding the 4th and 5th mousebutton, would it be possible to add an option to activate gestures only when both mouse buttons (LMB AND RMB) are clicked?

The reason is, that LMB, RMB and MMB are already used for multiple other functions which sometimes lead to functional conflicts with Gesturefy.

Of course this would not work with Rocker Gesture activated, but maybe this could be sloved with a timeout for activating Rocker Gesture

  • e.g. LMB click + hold | >xxx ms timeout | RMB click = Rocker
  • e.g. LMB click + hold | <xxx ms | RMB click + hold = Gesture

I appreciate the kind words.

What you are asking for is definitely possible. However you already pointed out one caveat. So while it is not super complicated it requires multiple code adjustments.

What I have in mind for a long time is that users can record their own gesture activation key/button sequence. This is highly flexible (resolves similar requests #682, #274) while easy to user from a user perspective. The only problem is that I never found time to implement it.

So your feature request will probably not be resolved in the near future, sorry for that.
