### Mouse Gestures
Some mice (such as the MX Master 3) have a button that can be used to
create up/down/left/right gestures, which then are seen by the Solaar rules as
MOUSE_GESTURE notifications.
This processing is only set up in Solaar when the Mouse Gestures setting is on and
the App Switch Gesture button or MultiPlatform Gesture Button is diverted.
Some mice (such as the MX Master 3) have a button that is supposed to be used to
create up/down/left/right mouse gestures. Other mice (such as the MX Master 3) don't
have a button specific for this but have buttons that can be used for it.
Mouse gestures is an experimental feature. Significant changes might be made in response to problems.
The Mouse Gestures setting assigns a button for this purpose.
Pressing the button, if the button is diverted, causes the mouse pointer to stop moving.
When the button is released a MOUSE_GESTURE notification with the total mouse movement
while the button was pressed is sent to the Solaar rule system.
Mouse gestures is an experimental feature.
Significant changes might be made to it in the future.
