By using:
local iHandle = acGetForegroundWindow()
acActivateWindow(nil, gsx, gsy)
acSendKeys ("{F_5}")
acDisplayText("Refresh", "Arial", 64, 200, 50, 255, 500, 650, 400)
acActivateWindow(iHandle, nil, nil)
Man!!!! now that's something else!
Strokes plus is insanely good. Found about it 3 days ago and I'm having a blast.
Note the acDisplayText command. Can I make the test to show up right under the cursor's location no matter where I am on my 3 monitors?

Try this:acDisplayText("Refresh", "Arial", 64, 200, 50, 255, 500, acGetMouseLocationX(), acGetMouseLocationY()) |

Brilliant! Thank you :)
I used this to be able to get it below the cursor.
acDisplayText("Refresh", "Arial", 34, 200, 50, 255, 200, acGetMouseLocationX()-50, acGetMouseLocationY()+20)
Man, this program! :) |

Glad to hear! So I have to ask, is there a reason you're using this version (older and no longer being enhanced) instead of the newer StrokesPlus.net?

Sheesh! no...I got it from somewhere else and wasn't aware of that. Thanks a lot, I'm gonna update to that one now. :)
EDIT: So I updated. Manually rebuilt all presets / scripts but for some reason all gestures are giving errors related to the scripts. All I did was to copy/paste from the old program to the new (then close the old) |

| The scripts are, unfortunately not compatible :/ It was a complete rewrite from the ground up. That was another reason I was asking, before you got too far along. |

| I JUST added Steps like less than 5 days ago. I would say use the Steps unless you're making something very complicated. |

Seems like "Insert Hotkey" is doing what I want so far. Not sure about invoking folders.
Things like window focusing seem now managed by the app (good) |

I guess I just need one thing:
How do I load a folder? I used:
acShellExecute("open", "C:\\folder", "", "", 1)
I'm not sure how to do it with the Steps tab. I found "Run Program" I guess I'm close.
No rush :) I like forums (unless this one is old and unused) |

BTW: This new version seems to have a much better AI to recognize the gestures.
I changed my HotKey presets from the Script Tab to the Steps tab "Send Hot Key" and works wonderfully. |
