Next week there will be two new features that will make the standard setup easier:
1.) Some new action categories for mouse buttons:
- click (this is what we currently have and will continue to allow further customization for short or long presses and down/up trigger)
- press button & drag down (discrete)
- press button & drag up (discrete)
- press button & drag left (discrete)
- press button & drag right (discrete)
- press button & drag down (continuous)
- press button & drag up (continuous)
- press button & drag left (continuous)
- press button & drag right (continuous)
These are independent of BTT's mouse gestures and specifically optimized for straight lines. Also they won't show any UI when dragging (for now). The discrete ones are for triggering standard actions like cmd+w, the continuous ones are if you want to do something like change volume by dragging a button up/down or zooming in / out.
2.) Drawing gestures will get a additional "scope" property and the "Start Record Drawing" action will be able to set the scope. This means custom drawing gestures with scope "button1" will only trigger if "Start Record Drawing" was called with scope "button1".
