Browsing with Mouse Gestures
THIS WEEK NetSpeak focuses on a browser feature called `mouse gestures' that can be used for many browser actions with the help of mouse movements or drawing some symbols on the browser window using the mouse.
Mouse gesture (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_gestures) is a term used to define the process of invoking programs or a program's feature by making the mouse move in certain directions, holding a mouse button down. Mouse gestures provide us an alternative to keyboard short-cuts to invoke programs or various features of a program. For example, while you browse the Net you use different menu options to perform various browsing related tasks — you use the `Back' button to move back to a page already visited, the `Reload/Refresh' button to reload the page and so on.
