StrokeIt… I didn’t name it
I recently read about StrokeIt on Lifehacker and thought I’d give it a try. If you’re at all familiar with the Mouse Gestures extension in Firefox, you’ll be right at home with this.
Stroke it lets you use mouse gestures for pretty much anything in Windows. By holding down the Right Mouse Button and drawing an “M” Outlook opens, draw a “W” and your default web browser opens - “C” closes a window… The list goes on and on. But the coolest part is that you can make your own commands. I noticed that of all the programs Firefox was blatantly missing. In about 5 minutes I was able to add commands for firefox to create a new Tab and to switch between tabs. Very Nice.
You really don’t realize how much time you use moving your mouse up and down across the screen so you can click on things until you can avoid it with something as simple as a mouse gesture. Give Stroke it a try and you’ll see what I mean.

Great find Kyle. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to use mouse gesture commands from firefox on my other windows apps. Gonna d-load it and see how it is.
