====== Gesture  Trigger ======

The *Gesture trigger* (v8+) lets you execute a macro when you draw a shape using the mouse.

The gesture consists of any sequence of one or more directional movements (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).  The gesture can require a set of modifiers to be pressed, or a specific mouse button to be pressed, and you can optionally make the gesture reversible (so, for example, `up, right, up, left` would also trigger if you drew the shape in the reverse direction `right, down, left, down`).

You can practice gestures by choosing [[manual:Menus#Practice_Gestures|Practice Gestures]] from the [[manual:Menus#Help|Help menu]]
