If you've
selected a slide gesture, you have the option of editing the speed
(sensitivity), acceleration (non-linearity), and other behavior controls.
The topmost control on this page is the 'Axes/Direction' field. This shows which motion direction(s) the slide is sensitive
to. You cannot change the motion direction from the slide motion
page. To create a slide in a different direction, use the toolbar
at the bottom of the chord edit page.
The Motion Speed/Sensitivity combo box may be more useful for now. For command gestures (that emit hotkeys), you can pick from several pre-set sensitivity categories. If you're a new user, remember to try ROLLING your fingertips for fine control before deciding that we've made all the gestures too sensitive, and changing their settings! You should not need to adjust an existing command gesture more than one category above or below its default setting.
You cannot select different speed categories for mouse motion gestures
(e.g. pointing/dragging/scrolling), but you can adjust the given
category's sensitivity and acceleration in a dialog box with the
Adjust This Sensitivity... button.
WARNING: Accelerations you choose in the Speed
Ajdustment dialog actually ADD to any acceleration selected in
your Operating System's mouse control panel! So if you want
Medium or High accel, you should either:
Select the one shot option if you only want a command to issue
once per slide motion. You'll have to lift the hand and start
another slide to repeat the command. Commands like Cut,
Copy, Paste, New, Print, Save,
Exit, Home, and End all use One Shot gestures. This
option does not apply to, and should not be used with mouse motions.
Leave this option unchecked if you want the gesture to repeatedly
issue its events as you slide farther, say for text navigation (Arrow)
gestures.
Check fast shot when you want the best of both worlds: the command
to issue just once per slide if the motion starts crisply, or to
issue repeatedly if you touch and start sliding gradually. Your
attack chooses between a quick, sure-fire single command, or the
extended control of command repetition. Commands like Undo,
Redo, Tab, BackTab , and Application
Switch use Fast Shot gestures by default. This
option does not apply to, and should not be used with mouse motions.
Leave this option unchecked if you always want the gesture to
repeatedly issue its events as you slide farther, say for text navigation
(Arrow) gestures.
