Ikbel, How do you map applications to windows? Is it based on the window title? If so, I suggest defining the "Application" property as a regex so titles can be matched easily no matter what their format. As for the triggers, I think some suggestions would be helpful. For example, if gtk scroll events shift contents of a window by 30 pixels, then a suggested trigger for a scroll event through ginn should be 30 pixels. That way a user can scroll a document and there will be a one-to-one mapping between physical and screen space. If toolkits have a way to dynamically set the scroll amount, it might be worthwhile to define a trigger that is in scroll sizes, like "1S" might mean 1 scroll size, which would translate to 30 pixels in the above scenario. I'm not sure how feasible this is, but it's worth taking a look at. Otherwise, I like the concepts here. -- Chase _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
