    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.
    <translate>
     
    ===Creating the Mouse gestures actions group=== <!--T:26-->
     
    <!--T:27-->
    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=== <!--T:28-->
     
    <!--T:29-->
    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==== <!--T:30-->
     
    <!--T:31-->
    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==== <!--T:32-->
     
    <!--T:33-->
    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=== <!--T:34-->
     
    ====Close window==== <!--T:35-->
     
    <!--T:36-->
    This command will let you close the next window you mouse click on.
    {{Note|wmctrl may not support your Window Manager.}}
     
    <!--T:37-->
    {{Input|1=Command/URL: wmctrl -c :SELECT:}}
     
    <!--T:38-->
    to close the active window
     
    <!--T:39-->
    {{Input|1=Command/URL: wmctrl -c :ACTIVE:}}
     
    ====Translate clipboard content==== <!--T:63-->
     
    <!--T:64-->
    This command will display a translation of the current clipboard content.
    *'''Required for this are:'''
    **xclip
    **libtranslate
     
    <!--T:65-->
    {{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=== <!--T:40-->
     
    <!--T:41-->
    If you chose D-Bus, here are few examples.
     
    <!--T:42-->
    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==== <!--T:43-->
     
    <!--T:44-->
    This will display the '''Runner''' dialog.
     
    <!--T:45-->
