This is the support thread for HotGestures, which is software for mouse gestures/hotkeys, supporting all poker rooms.

how are mouse gestures useful to poker players? seems like it would slow down gameplay substantially

Of course not. It is much easier move the cursor to the window than to the button in this window, or to the small checkbox.
When a lot of windows, to click the small items in the windows gives some discomfort and quickly tiring. Hotkey for that and devised to accelerate and facilitate the work.
To perform a set of actions you need only move the cursor to the area of the desired window and to make click or gesture without worrying about getting into the small target.
You just need to try it.

My personal preference:
Fold - Click right mouse button
Bet Slider - Vertical Wheel
Raise - Right gesture of the left mouse button (left button - in order not to do missclick with the fold)
Check/Call - Left gesture of the left mouse button

Can add hotkeys on bet sizes, those that are located above slider bets (1/3 Bank Pot, Allin ...), "fold to any bet", "sit-out", etc., but it's too much personally for me.

maybe you should show in a video how you play multiple tables using your tool to make it clear. also not get why gestures should beat hotkeys....

The idea is good. Although the program is designed not only for poker tables but for any windows applications, given that this forum for poker, I'll try to make this video. But I do not quite imagine how to make a clear video for mouse gestures. The screen will be visible only cursor movement from table to table. If you can, tell me how to make that video was understandable.

Why gestures should beat hotkeys? I prefer to do everything with the mouse. For example, the browser window navigation I can not imagine, without gestures. And as the buttons in the mouse only 3-5, and not everyone can be comfortable to use, the gestures that have become commonplace in the browser window and tablets, can be applied to other applications. In particular for the game of poker.

Now I can not imagine playing at multiple tables without gestures. And if I have tables of tournaments from different poker rooms, I did not have is discomfort - all the same gestures.

And the main thing is that they are applicable to ANY poker room equally. Besides in HotGestures except 8 mouse gestures can also be programmed in addition 4 clicks and 2 scrolling.

And there are those who like to play with the keyboard. It is a matter of taste and habits.

mousing only creates worse wrist problems and RSI for me

i like the mouse-less browsing extensions, where all links are assigned a keystroke combination, and i can navigate using keyboard only

having to hold down mousebuttons and then drag out a gesture sounds like a nightmare

but..

i think this is true

I have two keyboards (built-in laptop and wireless) and one mouse. But the keyboard is used exclusively only for entering text. And everything else I do with the mouse. I would with a mouse and played football and on a violin, too.

I did not even noticed when I press the mouse button, and when I let go of her. It's like riding a bicycle - if try to explain every move then outright get into a stupor.

I click the mouse button when is already tentatively decided but sometimes before releasing the button, I changes the decision on the other (this is also a habit). And I do not imagine what I would do without it. It's like a smoker draws on the cigarette smoke.

There are plans to create a program where you can bind a key on the keyboard, so that after pressing poked a specific area (or several areas) of the screen (for example on articles to display popup ...)

With the realization of this will be a separate decision, the exact timing is not yet know. If that is cleared up - I will try to inform advance in the topic.

OK. So let's agree - I undertake to make a program for the keyboard, and you then lay out a good video on how you use it you are at the poker tables.

there are many poker programs already available to bind keystrokes to hotkeys that offer millions of features

i was just curious on your reasoning for building the gesture program, because that is new in the poker space

That's right - because the program was conceived and developed that it is new. And it is used not only for to play poker, or other of the windows games, but I have met those who apply HotGestures in their work, and even someone leafing through it with the HotGestures help of Excel tab.

But I decided to finalize the program for the keyboard, because the decisions that have been applied in the HotGestures can be interesting and for the keyboard program.

Anticipating questions I report - the theme has been moved to the section "Commercial Software", but it is planned that for a some time HotGestures will be free. Use for fun, all good luck.

6:49 min youtube videos about the software configuration but we never get to see it in action, if you open a thread in a poker forum in the software sub-forum it would be to help the poker player with their game in some way, i still dont see the need and/or how this software will helpmy game or to make my sessions easier

The Youtube video

The same techniques that have been reproduced of the video for the window Test - similarly applicable to any other window, including to the windows of the poker tables.

But, of course, you're right, and I have to write quickly as possible the video poker game with the HotGestures.

That's 8 minutes of videos exclusively from the poker tables

This free program?

Yes, for some time, the program will be free

For those who balances spectra - available a new version with a randomly clicks. and their adjustment

On the PKR tables do not want to click

For the "slow" windows (such as the PKR tables) necessary reduce the speed a clicks, dragging the Speed slider to the left in the profile.

In the settings panel added button "Create a copy" and "Restore", through which you can now save a copy of settings and load settings from a saved copy. Available for download.

Speed ranges were increased, so that in the pre-configured profiles need to change the value of the click rate. Returned opportunity correction of software clicks.

Added function Drag and Drop.

How to use a random clicks?

To assign a random click is necessary to open the settings panel click the button Add (+/-), or by double-clicking on the button gestures and mark the checkbox "Random click". Slider percent drag to the desired position for the first click software (eg 70%), the remaining 30% percent will go to the second click. On the target window double-click the picture (the first time in for a place the first random click, the second time in the place for the second random click).

As a result, the program randomly selecting a value from 0 to 100, and in the 70 cases out of 100, as in the example above, the first click will be performed , in 30 cases out of 100 will be performed the second click.
