==Mouse Gestures==

[[Category:Configuration/lb]]
 
[[Category:Needs work]]
:''KDE SC version 4.4.4''
 
The place where you start is "<menuchoice>System Settings -> Input Actions</menuchoice>"
 
===Enabling mouse gestures===
 
In the bottom left corner of the window there is a <menuchoice>Settings</menuchoice> button.  Make sure that the <menuchoice>Gestures</menuchoice> checkbox is checked.  Set the timout as you see fit.  The mouse button might be different for you, I chose 3 for using the right mouse button.  If you want input actions to be enabled automatically, check the "Start the input Actions daemon on login" above.
 
===Creating the Mouse gestures actions group===
 
Right click on the left pane (in an empty area under the list of action groups) and choose <menuchoice>New Group</menuchoice>, rename that group to "Mouse Gestures" and check the checkbox attached to its name.
 
===Creating a new mouse gesture===
 
From now on I will assume that the new group is called "Mouse Gestures".
Right click on <menuchoice>Mouse Gestures</menuchoice> and choose <menuchoice>New -> Mouse Gesture Action</menuchoice>
(here there are three options but I didn't manage to work with "Send Keyboard Input")
using "Command/URL" or "D-Bus Command" you will need to create a gesture and bind an action to it.
 
====To create the gesture====
 
Click on your <menuchoice>New Action</menuchoice> and select the <menuchoice>Trigger</menuchoice> tab.
in the bottom of the screen there is an <menuchoice>Edit</menuchoice> button (click it).  In the box that just opened draw your gesture using the ''left'' mouse button.
 
====To bind an action====
 
if you chose <menuchoice>Command/URL</menuchoice> simply enter that command/url under the <menuchoice>Action</menuchoice> tab at the <menuchoice>Command/URL</menuchoice> field.
 
===Examples using Command/URL===
 
====Close window====
 
This command will let you close the next window you mouse click on.
{{Note|wmctrl may not support your Window Manager.}}
 
{{Input|1=Command/URL: wmctrl -c :SELECT:}}
 
to close the active window
 
{{Input|1=Command/URL: wmctrl -c :ACTIVE:}}
 
====Translate clipboard content====
 
This command will display a translation of the current clipboard content.
*'''Required for this are:'''
**xclip
**libtranslate
 
{{Input|<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">Command/URL: kdialog --title "Translation" --msgbox "`xclip -o | translate -f en -t he -`"</syntaxhighlight>}}
Replace 'en' and 'he' with the desired source and destination language, if you are not sure, a full list of language codes is available from [http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php the ISO 639-2] list.
 
===Examples using D-Bus===
 
If you chose D-Bus, here are few examples.
 
Finding out what to fill where, is done with the help of the "Launch D-Bus Browser", using that browser you can find what method you wish to call in what application object.  Using D-Bus we need to fill some fields, the field name will be regular and the content ''italic''.
 
====Runner====
 
This will display the '''Runner''' dialog.
 
Remote Application: ''org.kde.krunner''
 
Remote Object: ''/App''
 
Function: ''org.kde.krunner.App.display''
 
====Audacious next/previous/pause/play/stop/repeat track====
 
Remote Application: ''org.mpris.audacious''
 
Remote Object: ''/Player''
 
Function: ''org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.'''Next''''' (replace Next with Prev/Pause/Stop/Play/Repeat)
 
====Audacious PlayPause track====
 
If not playing will play, if playing will pause.
 
Remote Application: ''org.mpris.audacious''
 
Remote Object: ''/org/atheme/audacious''
 
Function: ''org.atheme.audacious.PlayPause''
 
====Klipper manually invoke action menu====
 
display the actions pop-up.
(I am using that to search and translate words)
 
Remote Application: ''org.kde.klipper''
 
Remote Object: ''/klipper''
 
Function: ''org.kde.klipper.klipper.showKlipperManuallyInvokeActionMenu''
