Am I allowed to start a topic in this section?=)
This trick might be handy for someone who has too many different gestures.
If you assign the following script to the simple "right" gesture you'll be able to run a certain part of a script according to specified gesture length:
script:short_len=200 --better be specified in global script
if gex-gsx<short_len then
acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
else
acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
end
--for the left gesture you need to change the "gex-gsx" to "gsx-gex", for the "up" gesture to "gsy-gey", for the down to "gey-gsy"
Now you can run two actions by one gesture.
But you can also run actions according to the mouse position at which the gesture had started. This is only suitable for the actions which doesn't require a certain mouse position (like when selecting files or something)
If you visually divide your display 3 times horizontally and 3 times vertically it will be a grid with 9 sectors. The following script runs a certain subscript according to what sector of the screen the gesture had started on:
global script:
x_res=acGetMonitorRight(acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy), 0) --display width
y_res=acGetMonitorBottom(acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy), 0) --display height
script: {any gesture}
sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/3))+(3*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/3)))) -- calculates the sector on which the gesture had started
--123
--456
--789
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
elseif sector==4 then acMessageBox("do something3",'message',nil)
elseif sector==5 then acMessageBox("do something4",'message',nil)
elseif sector==6 then acMessageBox("do something5",'message',nil)
elseif sector==7 then acMessageBox("do something6",'message',nil)
elseif sector==8 then acMessageBox("do something7",'message',nil)
elseif sector==9 then acMessageBox("do something8",'message',nil)
end
--for 2x2 grid (4 sectors) use: sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/2))+(2*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/2))))
--4x3 grid (12 sectors): sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/4))+(4*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/3))))
Now you can run nine actions by a single gesture. If that's not enough you can also utilize the gesture length:
script:sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/3))+(3*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/3))))
if gsx-gex<short_len then
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something3",'message',nil)
elseif sector==4 then acMessageBox("do something4",'message',nil)
elseif sector==5 then acMessageBox("do something5",'message',nil)
elseif sector==6 then acMessageBox("do something6",'message',nil)
elseif sector==7 then acMessageBox("do something7",'message',nil)
elseif sector==8 then acMessageBox("do something8",'message',nil)
elseif sector==9 then acMessageBox("do something9",'message',nil)
end
else
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something10",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something11",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something12",'message',nil)
elseif sector==4 then acMessageBox("do something13",'message',nil)
elseif sector==5 then acMessageBox("do something14",'message',nil)
elseif sector==6 then acMessageBox("do something15",'message',nil)
elseif sector==7 then acMessageBox("do something16",'message',nil)
elseif sector==8 then acMessageBox("do something17",'message',nil)
elseif sector==9 then acMessageBox("do something18",'message',nil)
end
end
18 actions!
That is it. Sorry for my English, if I have mistakes. |

| Great! I can define more function for simple strokes. |

Just a quick note; the following lines may not work when on a non-primary screen (with multiple monitors):x_res=acGetMonitorRight(acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy), 0) --display width
y_res=acGetMonitorBottom(acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy), 0) --display height
For example, on my system I have another monitor to the left of the primary monitor and its Right coordinate is 0 (left is -1680) since the primary starts at 0 and goes to 1920.
This code should work for single and multiple monitor setups:local hMonitor = acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy)
x_res=acGetMonitorRight(hMonitor, 0) - acGetMonitorLeft(hMonitor, 0) --display width
y_res=acGetMonitorBottom(hMonitor, 0) - acGetMonitorTop(hMonitor, 0) --display height
I assigned hMonitor for performance reasons; acGetMonitor(...) enumerates all displays and is a heavy hitter from a code perspective, so it's best to minimize the calls to it when possible. |

Thanks for correction Rob.
I've also made a function for this. My early script uses the whole display area, but sometimes it's good to have the grid with sectors within a window. Here is a function
global script:
local hMonitor = acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy)
x_res=acGetMonitorRight(hMonitor, 0) - acGetMonitorLeft(hMonitor, 0) --display width
y_res=acGetMonitorBottom(hMonitor, 0) - acGetMonitorTop(hMonitor, 0) --display height
grid=function(h_sectors,v_sectors,gsx,gsy,control)
if control==0 then
sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/h_sectors))+(h_sectors*(math.floor(gsy/(y_res/v_sectors))))
else
handle=acGetWindowByPoint(gsx, gsy)
if control==1 then
wr=acGetWindowRight(nil,gsx,gsy)
wl=acGetWindowLeft(nil,gsx,gsy)
wt=acGetWindowTop(nil,gsx,gsy)
wb=acGetWindowBottom(nil,gsx,gsy)
elseif control==2 then
wr=acGetWindowRight(handle,nil,nil)
wl=acGetWindowLeft(handle,nil,nil)
wt=acGetWindowTop(handle,nil,nil)
wb=acGetWindowBottom(handle,nil,nil)
end
ww=wr-wl --window width
wh=wb-wt --window height
sector=math.ceil((gsx-wl)/(ww/h_sectors))+(h_sectors*(math.floor ((gsy-wt)/(wh/v_sectors))))
return handle --for further usage when needed
end
end control parameter is:
"0" - static grid on the whole display
"1" - grid for the whole window of an app
"2" - grid for the child window (only for apps with control qualifier specified, otherwise all child windows of an app window will allocate the same grid on them, which is a mess).
So for the whole display grid action script will look like:grid(3,3,gsx,gsy,0) --3x3 grid
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something3",'message',nil)
-----------and so on
end
Here is example for foobar2000 window:
action script:
grid(3,3,gsx,gsy,1)
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something3",'message',nil)
-----------and so on
end
2)for foobar2000 child window (playlist):
action script:
grid(1,5,gsx,gsy,2)
if sector==1 then acMessageBox("do something1",'message',nil)
elseif sector==2 then acMessageBox("do something2",'message',nil)
elseif sector==3 then acMessageBox("do something3",'message',nil)
-----------and so on
end
That is it. |

Amazing ! Breakcore - your script just made me shit bricks ! Very potential script. You rock man !
@ ROB ; I guess i still would go about using this script if i have to achieve this right ? i mean this was written in 2012 .hope you didn't upgrade your magic software with any alternate. |

| Nothing has been built into S+ for this, so yes, go ahead and use this :) |

i have tried this scrpit and it shows a small window with 1 written on when i try the short gesture
short_len=200 --better be specified in global script
if gex-gsx<short_len then
acMessageBox(acSendKeys("{BROWSERFORWARD}"))
else
acMessageBox(acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}@{RIGHT}"))
end |

| if i want to include the two gestures to a upward left/right motion what should i change the gex-gsx to? |

@control_freak
Thanks!
Yes, you just have to change the equation gsx-gex to gex-gex/gsy-gey/gey-gsy or anything else, depending on gesture type and your needs |

There is a bug in the code.
sector=math.ceil(gsx/(x_res/3))+(3*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/3))))
If one were to draw at the left edge of the screen, gsx would be 0, therefore, the sector would be one less than expected. For example, using a 3 x 3 grid, drawing at the left edge of sectors 1, 4, 7, shown in the picture, the code's sector would return 0, 3, or 6, respectively.
There are two solutions, either add a line above if gsx == 0 then gsx = 1 end , or modify the equation, because the default mouse cursor takes up one pixel, a positive number > 0, and #8804; 1 would work without causing a bump in sector sector=math.ceil(gsx + 1/(x_res/3))+(3*(math.floor (gsy/(y_res/3)))) . The latter is faster. |
