TRISTANOTIERNEY  Awesome product, well worth the $5. Thanks for filling this huge hole in Mac OS X!

NONTROPPO  Noraa: try deleting what.xgestures.plist in your /Library/Preferences/  
(Version 1.7.3)

NONTROPPO  XGestures is the best $5 you can spend on software for OS X. Mouse gestures are an incredibly effective interface addition. I normally work in mixed keyboard / mouse mode but sometimes I'm far from the keyboard. Gestures allow full navigation and triggering of all your apps. Navigate in Finder, Forklift, Safari, FF using the same gesture for back, much faster than using their back buttons. Toggle side panels, run applescript.

The only issue is with Wacom tablets. The developer knows about this and will try to fix it once he geta a tablet to use. I stopped using my Wacom tablet, as I found disabling XGestures just to disruptive to my overall workflow!

F451  This is simply a must-have for me, and I can see by the current price it is still a bargain by any standard. Having used X-Gestures for years now I would be lost without it. It is easy to set-up, even easier to use.

KAIDOH  Thanks for the quick Leopard update. I don't know what I would have done without this extremly useful app. Highly recommended - even for keyboard junkies who can finally make peace with their mouse.

TRISTANOTIERNEY  Wohoo, finally updated for Leopard! Thanks Brian :)

GCOGHILL  xGestures is a great utility, but FYI it plays havoc with Adobe software menus when using a Wacom tablet. At least it did on CS1; have not tried with CS3 yet.

It took me a few weeks to figure out what was going on, but once I disabled xGestures completely, the Adobe menu/Wacom wierdness went away.

A shame too, as I was a huge fan of xGestures, but the Wacom takes precedence. I never heard back from the dev on this when I contacted him about it, so I just moved on.

THE KICHI GUY  one of the essential freeware/shareware apps for the mac. highly customizable, works in every app (not just cocoa apps), and with a little bit of creativity, you can practically control any aspect of your computer with this.

and blackflag, it is easily worth your $5 burger king lunch. and don't be disappointed, xgestures can easily handle the one thing you wanted it to do. just add the finder to your app-specific settings, choose the gesture action "Choose Menu Item", and for the menu item name type "Back" for going back, and "Forward" for going forward, and then assign whatever gestures you want to those functions.  
(Version 1.7)

BLACKFLAG_S13  Argh! I was really really excited when I came across this app, but it doesn't perform the one thing that I want it to do. It doesn't go back and forward in Finder like my mouse-gestures for Opera do. A little disappointing. Other than that it seems like a very solid little app, though not worth my money just yet...  
(Version 1.7)

BOOTHEFOX  i use it for half a year already now and i toootally love this little app ! - it opens new windows/tabs, closes windows tabs, switches to different tabs, quits applications, moves back and forward in history, opens selected texts in browser, opens link in different browser - and all that with a few gestures (for more power Proxi recommended).
