Gesturefy for Chrome 🖱️

A Chrome port of Gesturefy (GPL-3.0, by Robbendebiene) — a tribute to the original author. The original Gesturefy is Firefox-only. This port brings the classic mouse gesture experience to Chrome users.

Navigate, operate, and browse faster with mouse gestures! Draw gestures with your mouse (while holding the left/middle/right button) to execute commands — more natural and convenient than keyboard shortcuts.

中文版 README

✨ Features

• 🖱️ Mouse gestures (triggered by holding left, middle, or right mouse button)
• ⚡ 80+ built-in commands: tabs, navigation, scrolling, zoom, copy & paste, and more
• 🖱️👆 Double-click to close tab (optional, left/right button configurable)
• 🔄 Edge gesture presets — Microsoft Edge’s official 16-gesture map (hand-recorded), one-click migration for Edge users
• 🎨 Customizable gesture trace and status information style
• 🔄 Rocker gestures (left-click while holding right button and vice versa) & wheel gestures
• 📜 Custom user script command (advanced)
• 🌓 Light / Dark / High-contrast themes
• 🌐 Multi-language support (English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese)

🧩 Modular architecture

New features are shipped as independent content-script modules in core/extras/ (e.g. double-click-to-close), mounted via manifest.json — the frozen core content.bundle.js is never rebuilt, keeping the battle-tested gesture engine intact.

📦 Installation

1. Download the zip from Releases
2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome → enable Developer mode
3. Drag the zip onto the page, or click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder

🔧 Build from source

# Requires Node.js 18+
npm install -g rollup
rollup -c rollup.config.mjs   # Regenerates core/bundle/content.bundle.js

Then load the directory as an unpacked extension.
