Description of the new feature / enhancement

USECASE:

We already have this software and it works exceptionally well for enhancing workflows but we either need for it to work:

  • a Logitech Mouse+ install the software separately
  • not have a Logitech Mouse and try to get it to work anyway
  • other Third party software im not aware of
  • Just be able to use it in Edge Browser which doesnt make sense at all because most workflows are more complex than back, forward, refresh website

HOWEVER: this should also be mandatory pre installed in Windows like all the PowerToys Programs. (at least fancy zones, mouse utilities, keyboard shortcuts, advanced paste)

Basically you should be able to press 1 or more Mouse or Keyboard Keys and then do a Gesture to enable any function that you can otherwise do with Mouse or Keyboard input. SO JUST THE KEYBOARD MANAGER BUT FOR THE MOUSE

If Mouse or Keyboards already have the functionality to do this why then adding Mouse Gestures?

The additional 2 Keys on my Mouse can do 5 actions instead of just 2

Key1:

When pressed without moving in one direction/gesture:

  • aaa
    When using left, down, right, up gestures:
  • Copy
  • Cut
  • Paste
  • a
Key2:

When pressed without moving in one direction/gesture:

  • a
    When using left, down, right, up gestures:
  • scroll left
  • a
  • scroll right
  • a

Scenario when this would be used?

  • Be way faster in any workflow

  • Map more shortcuts (at least 5 to each key without using any modifyer keys) exponentially more with each modifyer key!!!

  • Use your Mouse in ways that the hardware itself doesnt allow/ make easy:
    If you dont have a horizontal Mousewheel and your software didnt implement holding ctrl or shift+ vertical mouse scroll to horizontally scroll you can just use a global shortcut.
