Expanding on multi-touch trackpad gestures

[LucidPsychosis]

So, I'm on my first Mac, a 15" 2010 MBP (2.4 Ghz), and I'm absolutely loving the multi-touch trackpad. It makes browsing things so much easier and even more pleasurable.

One thing that I just this second thought of is how to expand the gesture use more.

I'm in Mozilla now, and I moused up to the refresh button, and thought "Hey, what if I could refresh the page by just making a swirling gesture on the trackpad? That'd be pretty damn cool." This could also apply to the "stop" button by making an X gesture.

I know that's kind of silly, but I thought it'd be pretty cool and worth sharing. Thoughts?

sounds pretty good to me. i don't see why apple wouldn't apply such features to future track pads!

Download BetterTouchTool [http://blog.boastr.net/]
Then add a trackpad gesture (e.g. rotate right or left) and set it to the keyboard command ⌘R

(What I love even more is so disable four-fingler gestures left/right from the System Preferences, and then add four-finger left to go to the tab to the left, and four-finger right to go to the tab to the right. Makes tabbing surfing so much easier)

Another good one for surfing with bettertouchtool is to assign three finger click to the middle mouse button. Then you can open links in tabs with a tap.
