Welcome to Chromeplugins ! Thanks for the comments !

The default gestures I included with the extension were my personal preferences. In a way, they force you to edit the gestures and are a sort of introduction to the customization capabilities of the extension.

I tried to have the default new tab open when creating a new window. The problem is that you can only reference subdomains of the current tab in window.open() so you can't access chrome://newtab/
This will be fixed when access to the Chrome API is available.

Color trail should be available sometimes next week. No promises though

The close tab also not works here. I figure you may refer to Marble's script (Mouse Gesture UserScript )for modification since that script works here:
if(event.clientY-25>posy) //down + right: close
{
window.open('', '_self', ''); //bug fix
window.close();
}

Features :

• Execute Chrome commands using a simple gesture
• Easily create your own gestures
• Endless custom command possibilities by using Javascript

On the default config, you can use the following actions :

Create a new tab [DOWN, RIGHT]
Close current tab [DOWN, LEFT]
Back button [LEFT]
Next button [RIGHT]

Feel free to customize those.

In order to customize the gestures and create your own, go to
...\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\cigjdpglbacblgokjombkbbdfpkkedde\0.1

Open ChromeGestures.js with your favorite text editor
Follow the instructions there.


Download it here.

Please give me feedback !
Report any issues here.
Keep in mind that it's a beta.

Known Issues :
Chrome's window.close() does not seem to work all the time. For my next release, I'm going to work on a way to communicate with Chrome's API. It will provide a much more reliable way to open and close tabs as well as a whole lot of other things !

Enjoy !

The tabs API is implemented, you can open a new tab with:

Code:

var myTabID = null,expected = false;
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(focusedWindow){
	var blah = new Object();
	blah.url = "chrome://newtab/";
	blah.windowId = focusedWindow;
	blah.selected = false; //Set this to true if you want it to be automatically in focus
	expected = true;
	chrome.tabs.create(blah);
});
chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(function(tab){
	if(expected){ //Rudimentary checks to see if it was YOUR tab that was created.
	if(tab.url == "chrome://newtab/"){
		myTabID = tab.id;
		expected = false;
	}}
});

From a toolstrip or background page.
Not entirely sure this works with "chrome://" URLs per-say, but I imagine it would.
Also the listening for a new tab is only relevant if you wanna modify it later.

What I meant to say is that opening a new tab will be much simpler once ChromeGestures has support for Chrome API (which it does not right now)..

I'm already aware that Chrome's tab API already exists

Oh okay. ^^;

By persistant request from Steve, ;P I've modified this to add double-click to hide page functionality.
Of course, as it is a gesture, you have to hold down right-click while you do it.
Here's the js file: http://logicplace.com/pc/projects/ch...omeGestures.js

Thanks Waha !

I think we should start an open source project. I can't be the project owner as I'm extremely busy these days..

If anyone wants to volunteer, we could have a single chrome gesture project instead of all the little projects going on everywhere working toward a similar goal.

I seem to recall you saying you made some advancements to the chrome gestures script, perhaps you can upload those and someone can polish it off. :]

@Waha

Thanks loads for this, I'll go to bed a happy man now ;-)

Everything worked OK apart from Facebook, hides it OK but won't reinstate it ...
