2.0.18 - 2025-05-24

• #670 Allow to execute actions on gesture begin and end

  Until now, it was only possible to execute the MOUSE_CLICK, SEND_KEYS an RUN_COMMAND actions when the gesture started or when the gesture ended.

  Include a third option, begin-and-end allowing to run the actions both when the gesture starts and ends.

  When this new setting is used, MOUSE_CLICK starts presses the mouse button when the gesture starts and releases it when the gesture ends.

  In the case of RUN_COMMAND, a environment variable is set (TOUCHEGG_GESTURE_ON) allowing the executed script to take different actions at the beginning and the end of the gesture.

2.0.17 - 2023-08-13
