Hey guys,
Right now my script is executed on every action, that is great! Thanks Rob for That.
What I would love it to execute an external script when a gesture is fired, even if there is no global or app action for it, can it be done?

Download this:

https://www.strokesplus.net/files/plugins/ExecuteOnGestureMatch.zip

Extract it, then from the Plug-Ins section of S+, click Add Plug-In and browse to the DLL.

Then in Global Actions > Load/Unload > Load script, put this script:

Code:
// Put in Global Actions > Load/Unload > Load script
function executeOnGesture() {
    
    // Put your script here

    // vv Remove this, just for demo
    StrokesPlus.Console.Log(`Button: 
                            ${ExecuteOnGestureMatch.ExecuteOnGestureMatchWatcher.Button.ToString()} 
                            - Gesture: ${ExecuteOnGestureMatch.ExecuteOnGestureMatchWatcher.GestureName}`, 
                            "ExecuteOnGestureMatchWatcher");
    // ^^ Remove this, just for demo
}
ExecuteOnGestureMatch.ExecuteOnGestureMatchWatcher.ExecuteScript = "executeOnGesture();";

You're welcome!

I should note that it only executes when you draw a gesture with the primary or secondary stroke button is used.

Rob, I did all the steps, and the plugin is loading, I restarted the app, and all is good, but when the gestures are fired there's no message in the console, I left your code untouched just for testing.
I tried with a lot of gestures BTW
Maybe something is missing on my end?

And a quick one, this code fires when a gesture is used independently if it has an action associated.? because if it IS associated with an action, it's already working with your previous instructions.

Yes, it doesn't care about anything happening in the core S+ logic - just that a stroke button was pressed, a known gesture was drawn, and the stroke button was released.
