Version: 2.1 (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Mouse gestures just don't work. If I kill the khotkeys daemon and restart it in konsole, it prints khotkeys(5000): ShortcutsHandler::send_macro_key not implemented!!! every time I execute a known (configured) gesture.
If mouse gestures aren't (re-)implemented yet for KDE 4.1, the respective options in the khotkeys settings dialog should be removed or at least greyed out.
Gestures will either be gone for 4.2 or hopefully working again.

Gesture tweaking dialog don't saves anything I change. Looks like 'save' function also not implemented yet. Opensuse 11.0 (KDE 4.1.3 "release 51.1")
Mouse gestures are still broken on my Gentoo system using KDE 4.1.85 (4.2 Beta 2). Neither the khotkeys dialog works, nor do the basic Konqueror gestures. I would really appreciate mouse gestures being back in 4.2 final!
I vote for re-inclusion of mouse gestures. I'm used to them as a part of my daily work. As a matter of fact, I fail to understand how such an extremely useful feature is considered for removal. (Re-working of the input actions system should not be used as an excuse.)
Mouse gestures in konqueror(KDE3) and firefox is real big part of my life. I think, mouse-clicking hell should be avoided at least in konqueror4 and in dolphin.
Konqueror's mouse gestures are still broken in 4.1.87 (built by Gentoo ebuilds). The gesture config dialog from the system settings is also (still) broken. I can only turn on the "Konqueror gestures" group, but clicking one of the gestures does not open a config dialog (leaving the overall description of the Konqueror gestures group open), and none of them can be checked.
Still broken in exactly the same way in RC 1 (4.1.96).
Is anybody working on this? In one week, KDE 4.2 final will be out ... will it be released with broken features?
Bump. This lack of functionality is really crippling for Konqueror in comparison with virtually every other browser on the market...only a few days to 4.2 scheduled release-and crippled apps? on KDE4.1.96
I do not see anything in KDE-4.2. I really miss that feature :-(
Confirming that mouse gestures are still broken in KDE 4.2. It seems that the khotkeys UI has totally removed any mention of them as well...
As it seems that it will take quite a while yet until someone takes this up people might be interested in a temporary replacement. I suggest having a look at EasyStroke: http://easystroke.wiki.sourceforge.net/ It's a GTK application, unfortunately, but it works well and it even supports arbitrarily shaped gestures - which makes it better than the system in KDE3. If the gesture system needed an overhaul anyway I think EasyStroke's algorithms should be considered for that.
I just wanted to second what Frank said. I've been using it for the past year (since we lost mouse guestures) and it works great.
Another alternative, for those with multibutton mice is xbindkeys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6017927&postcount=1134 What would be nice is if we could either have gestures back, or xbindkeys integrated with KDE-or both.
The easystroke package really does work fine! Thanks for the tip :-)
Fixes ended with about revision 920912 . Code will get release with kde 4.3 . We will not backport. Still work in progress. The gui is ugly, the code has many bugs. So beware. I take bug reports for trunk tho. Gesture work for now. Everyone relying on working gestures should keep using the gnome alternative for now. Mike
Thanks Michael. It looks like I can start fully using KDE 4 as soon as 4.3 get out :-)
Dang it. I had just gotten out of trunk. Looks like it's time to go back :)
Mouse gestures seem to be working nicely in KDE 4.3.0 now. One notable thing that's missing is a preconfigured set of mouse gestures for Konqueror, much like KDE 3.5 had. I was able to to configure them myself without too much difficulty (less a mostly fruitless adventure down the DBUS path... I couldn't find the activate next/previous tab commands in there), but it'd be nice if they were just there.
