Description francisco_t 2009-05-20 22:16:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I love browsing with Opera and Firefox with the plugin mouse-gestures (http://www.mousegestures.org/). It's very fast. Mainly I use the gesture "Back" and "Forward" with the two mouse buttons.

Back: hold the right button and I click the left button. 
Forward: hold the left button and then I click the right button.

I think this method could be great in others applications of kde, for example in konqueror or dolphin.

I forgot to say: 
With the touchpad is much better to use the two buttons, it is very difficult to do gestures pressing a button and doing movements in a touchpad.

This is a feature request for special mouse gesture: hold one mouse button and press the other. Why it's not a bug?
