Hello,
I have just discovered this program and I am very excited. Unfortunately I still can't use it for a number of problems.
1. The only stroke button that works is the left button. If I set the middle or right button, the mouse function prevails over the program function. 2. Point 1 is penalizing because unfortunately the left button is used for many things (e.g. drag and drop). 3. Every time I open the settings to change something, the toggle is activated (which I don't want). Each time I deactivate the toggle but as soon as I open the settings the toggle returns. 4. I can't exclude the program from some contexts, Edge for example (I used msedge.exe in the exclusions section but it doesn't work).
Can you help me fix it so I can use this great program? Thanks in advance!

1. There's no known reason this should be happening. Do you have any other utilities running which might be hooking the mouse? 3. What exactly do you mean by "toggle"? 4. I added msedge.exe as the Module Name (EXE) (other fields left blank) and checked Active - it seems to work fine for me. Do you have any other details?

1. No utilities. I just right click (if the stroke is set to right) and instead of the SP gesture I see the menu (the one that usually appear when you right click something). 3. I mean the floaters. For example, I've just turned on the PC and the floaters are there (I disabled them before turning off the PC). 4. I don't know why it doesn't work for me.

You may want to try using the trace build and reviewing the log files and/or posting snippets here, as no one has ever reported the right button not working. Trace build infoAre you using a physical mouse? I'm not about the floaters, I will have to look into that. How are you toggling them off before shutting down? (tray menu, floater menu, script?)

Just to be sure: If you´re talking about "clicking", do you mean pressing the mouse button and releasing it? If so, try holding the (right) mouse button and move the mouse. Even if not moving, the context menu should not appear before releasing the button. I don´t mean to make you look stupid - but sometimes it´s just the simple things...

Hello, I tried a couple of gestures, but only one works.
One is to search a word in Google (when highlighted in the browser page) and it works: sp.SendVKey(vk.APPS); sp.Sleep sp.SendVKey(vk.VK_R);
The other is to open a url that has not a link, just a www. (when highlighted in the browser page) and it doesn't work: sp.SendVKey(vk.APPS); sp.SendVKey(vk.VK_S); sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN); I don't know why the first one works and the second one does not. They have the same logic. Thanks.

What browser are you using? I don't have R or S as popup menu key accelerators, so I can't try to troubleshoot the issue. I looked in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but pressing the Apps key then R or S don't do anything. Do you have any extensions or custom keys defined?

I looked in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but pressing the Apps key then R or S don't do anything. Do you have any extensions or custom keys defined? I think it's language-related. So in Firefox, if you click on the apps (or right click on the mouse), you have several possibilities. R is to search on Google, S is to open the url in a new tab.

Oh okay, it looks like it is G for English - but this works for me: Code:sp.SendVKey(vk.APPS);
sp.Sleep(10);
sp.SendVKey(vk.VK_G);
