I'm on Win11 and it's working fine.

It does work fine but there's a lot of features that could be added like for example, swipe in from the edge of the screen. The issue I run into a lot is gesture sign gets in the way of the native apps gestures. For example on a music program playing an onscreen keyboard, now you either cant use many gestures or need to stick to playing with only two fingers and keep your gestures at 3 plus fingers. Having screen coordinate/ window coordinate based gestures would eliminate this issue mostly.

Added after playing around more:

Try making gestures with "Continues gesture"

Ergo: Tap with 3 fingers then select how many fingers you want to swipe with. Then you can do this:

To change volume:

Tap with 3 fingers, lift all fingers, place two fingers and swipe up or down.

It's pretty epic! It like gives us SO many more ways to make gestures without having to draw complex things!


Well yes to some features like the screen edge.. there are some features I'd like also but, the dev made this for free so keep that in mind.

You can overcome the issue of GestureSign getting in the way of native app gestures by just not using those gestures as global gestures. Problem solved.

I personally am only using 3+ figure gestures because I have a touchpad and use 2 fingers to scroll.... setting any 2finger gestures in Gesturesign is bound to cause problems with that. ..and it did. I had play/pause set to be one finger hold then the 2nd finger set to be a downwards L and kept running into issue with scrolling pausing my music. Or turning the volume up and down because I had it set so I held with 1 finger then swiped up or down with another for volume. Changed all 3 things to holding 2 fingers down and swiping however with the other and that fixed that issue.

As for screen/window coordinates fixing some issue? Yah super cool to have. So would be able to do stuff like hold down two fingers and tap with a 3rd to do something.

---but again, the dev made this for free so eeeh. IT's great as it is.

Maybe if you want them do develop more kick them some money?

Btw, if you are using a touchscreen look into TouchMe Gesture studio. It is only for touchscreens, not touchpads
