 Mouse Gestures
################

VLC has basic support for mouse gestures.

Activation
----------

To activate this feature, go to Preferences > All > Interface > Control Interfaces and check "Mouse gestures control interface". Then restart VLC.

Alternatively you can add "gestures" to the extraintf list (``vlc --extraintf gestures``) when starting VLC from the command line, or manually write "gestures" in the "extra interface modules" field in the configuration window.

Settings

You can select which button you want to hold down while using the gestures in the preferences panel (Control Interfaces > Gestures).
