Gestures for IE 9 ?

14 years ago

Hi,

I'm wondering whether there are any mouse gesture programs that will work with IE9. I don't actually use the browser much, but I do sometimes play with it once in a while. It might be a handy backup browser if I could at least have gestures. I tried the IE9 gesture add-on (which didn't work at all -- couldn't get it to install right) as well as gMote (which apparently doesn't work with IE, at least it didn't work with mine).

Do any IE users here have mouse gestures with it that work ? Or does anyone know of some other gestures program that might work with IE ?

Just curious. Thanks ! :-)

Thanks, tulsarose

Unfortunately, most of the results simply direct one back to the IE gestures add-on which many (including myself) have found doesn't work well -- if at all. Oh, well. I'm happy using FF and Iron anyway, so it's no great loss. But I'll keep my eye open in case anyone can/does make a more efficient gesture add-on for IE.

Thanks for the responses ! :-) In the article ravencajun linked to, the author noted, "Although I have only had IE9 installed for a couple of hours, I already appreciate the increased webpage viewing area of IE9 over previous versions of Internet Explorer. I found this partly true and partly false. ISTM that there is some wasted space (whether this is in IE9 or also previous versions, I don't know). E.g. I downloaded the WOT add-on for IE9 and it created its own toolbar with only the WOT icon on it ! No way to hide it. Only remove the toolbar and simultaneously remove WOT ! :-( I did that and can't get it back ! I tried RE-downloading the WOT add on but it still doesn't show up. Btw, at the same time the title bar was all but empty. It seemed like a lot of wasted (precious) screen real estate. Betas.... ....sigh...

Something simple you might consider trying first... Put IE9 in compatibility mode by clicking the little icon beside the address bar(see below). That will make your IE9 appear to be and supposedly render pages as if it were IE7. It may or may not help but it's easy to try.
