Map Pane Mouse Gestures

Overview

Any command available in menus and button bars can also be triggered using mouse gestures. Using gestures is often faster than searching for commands in menus or toolbars.

To perform a mouse gesture, move the cursor into the map pane. Press and hold the right mouse button, draw an invisible figure, then release the button. The associated command will be executed.

The program reliably recognizes gestures, even if they are heavily deformed.

A number of gestures are predefined, and you can add more as needed.

Setup

Gestures can be managed via ‘Menu-Options-Preferences-Mouse Gestures’. Available options include:

• Define new gestures
• Assign gestures to commands
• Remove existing gestures
• Test current or newly trained gestures
• Save or load gesture sets to/from disk

Tip: Use the ‘Default’ button to reset all gestures and their assignments to initial values.

Predefined Gestures

Below is a list of predefined gestures. It’s helpful to memorize them, as they’re especially useful during track creation.
