Configuration for strokes-mode with a touchscreen
Here is my preliminary configuration and stroke library for using Emacs with a touchscreen. See strokes.el in Emacs for details on the recognition. See this video for a demo of the gestures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw8SQqmHPbI The gestures are in gesture-library.el. Strokes-mode will read gestures to / write gestures from ~/.strokes by default; I use the folowing settings: (setq strokes-file "~/emacs-gestures/gesture-library.el") Once you tell Strokes where gesture-library.el is, do this: (gestures-setup) Unfortunately some of the gestures in the file map to functions that are specific to my setup, but the main ones should work. TODO allow a standard gestures library plus a user-local file to be used TODO Draw the gestures for the user so they know what to draw? TODO find out why strokes-mode sometimes obliterate random buffers (!!) TODO fix mouse behavior and requiring mouse-3 to finish defining stroke TODO why strokes-mode and desktop-mode are a bad combo? TODO define more gestures as a community effort to gesture-enable emacs TODO probably standardize on larger than 9x9 grid---redo gestures :(
