I am trying to replicate Rectangle in BTT just to have one less app constantly running. I have trying replicating what's on the post here: > [@Mac-like gestures for normal mouse](https://community.folivora.ai/t/mac-like-gestures-for-normal-mouse/40158): > > Sorry if I'm using the wrong category.. I'm trying to replicate the trackpad swipe-left and swipe-right gestures, to move between "screens" on mac, but with a normal mouse. Also the swipe-up for mission control etc. I've only gotten so far, changing screens on mouse-4 and mouse-5, but pretty annoying to live without my mouse back button. Best case mouse-4 just works as the trackpad-style, so mouse-4 hold + move mouse left: move screen right mouse-4 hold + move mouse right: move screen left … but it just doesn't seem to recognise any sort of gesture so I assume I am missing something. Thanks for any info. ---

what exactly have you tried - maybe post a screenshot of your setup. Did you setup drawing gestures like here?

Here is a simple Window Management tool that I made that utilizes the new Foating Menus. It pops up at your mouse's current location when you hold CTRL, so it is always easily accessible -- no matter how big your screen / window is. I also made some of the icons for a nice and clean uniform look.

Looks like it works fine now, for some reason I had to close the config window first? And I've gotten it to work with just a modifier key which is great. Do you know if it's possible to not have the drawing show on screen when I press the start gesture button? ---

You can make it invisible by changing the drawing colors to transparent here: ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/5/8/580efcc8e20eb40d78a121e47d154d2e29c7ba2f.jpeg) ---

Awesome, thanks. Works pretty well now. Are drawing more of the same gesture and increasing recognition certainty the best ways for the app not to confuse one gesture with another? I've gotten most of the features of the I use for basic swiping done so I feel like I can replace Rectangle for now. Just need to figure out how to swap between screens if the window is already on the edge.
