It would be great if some visual notification was available (as an option per action, possibly) to show a little popup notification somewhere (e.g. by the tray icon) when certain actions are performed. I realize this would be unnecessary for certain actions like closing/minimizing windows, where it's obvious that the action was performed. However, it would be very useful to confirm that my Clipboard Copy action was performed, for example.

I tried using the Copy and Paste gestures, and when it fails, I don't know if I failed to perform the Copy or Paste gesture. One case is that the Copy failed and I pasted a blank string. The other case is that the Paste failed. I don't know which it is, so I end up doing both again. Having a visual notification would be extremely useful in this situation.

Well, you could enable the Allow After Action Script preference and use this in your Global Lua:
function sp_after_action(gnm, gsx, gsy, gex, gey, gwd, gapp, gact, gbl, gbt, gbr, gbb)
	acDisplayBalloonTip(gact, gnm, 1) --displays a balloon tip with an info icon
end
This would show the baloon tip near your taskbar clock every time you executed a gesture.

Or just use the acDisplayBaloonTip action in specific actions.

If you go the global route, my example above is the whole function, by default, the Global Lua already has this defined:
function sp_after_action(gnm, gsx, gsy, gex, gey, gwd, gapp, gact, gbl, gbt, gbr, gbb)

end
So you only would need to add the acDisplayBaloonTip code inside.
