Using Actions in CB: a discussion
takeshimiya:
If ActionsManager handles the add menu/toolbar items, how one could add another binding such as mouse gestures?
Will it be a way to add new bindings to actions provided by plugins?
thomas:
Do you have code which recognizes mouse gestures?

Well, given the availability of this:

I'd say adding a mouse gestures plugin wouldn't be much harder than:
* Providing a config dialog to allow the user to bind gestures to actions. This assumes of course that plugins are able to obtain a list of the names of currently registered actions from the action manager. Mandrav's post didn't provide examples of this, but if he hasn't implemented it yet it should be fairly trivial to do so, I think
* Detecting when mouse gestures are performed (probably the hardest part).
* Launching the appropriate actions using the action manager, as in above quote.

That's why I asked... the rest is really trivial.

You posted while I was still composing my post, but I didn't want to throw away the entire post just because you beat me ;).
