The Feature Selector
The Feature Selector is
where you can configure the options of your FingerWorks
device. Below is a list of these options along
with a quick summary of their function. Please
note that changes made here will affect the types of
chords (a thumb and finger combination) that we will be
able to map gestures to later.
|
OS Compatibility |
Selecting which
operating system you wish to use will enable
modifier hotkeys (such as the Cmd key for Macs and
Ctrl key for PCs) as well as the default mouse and
gesture sets for that operating system. |
|
Mouse Emulation |
These set a few common
options for mouse operation. |
|

Pointing Surface
| This will
swap all of the left hand gestures with right handed
ones and vise versa (TouchStream devices only). |
|
Thumb/Index/Pinky Clicking
| This will
enable single finger clicking (requires two fingers
down already). |
|
Horizontal

quick mode switching using the lower part of your

of the shortcut gestures for Alt and Ctrl/Cmd (TouchStream

|
Numberpad Enablement

|
Hand
Size |
The range of motion of
a gesture depends on how big your hand size is.
Setting a smaller size will require a smaller range
of motion to complete a gesture and vise versa. |
|

Next we will look into
the

the different tasks we will want to assign gestures to.
