StrokeIt

StrokeIt is a powerful software tool that gives you the power to run certain Windows applications just by drawing symbols on the screen.

Especially helpful if you enjoy mouse gestures more than keyboard shortcuts, StrokeIt is a bit difficult to configure, so beginners may have a hard time figuring out how to do it.

Fortunately, more documentation is available online, so it's enough to check out the help section of the app for the necessary links.

StrokeIt helps you effortlessly control Windows applications with unique mouse gestures, but the most difficult part is definitely configuration. You can define new mouse gestures not only for general Windows actions, but also for specific programs such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Photoshop, Safari or Winamp.

Regardless if we talk about minimizing, pausing or stopping playback, each action needs an assigned mouse gesture to work properly, so the whole process may take some time to complete.

Last but not least, StrokeIt also boasts plugin support, which means you're allowed to add new features to the main app just by loading new plugins. For instance, you can add multi-monitor support, enable window management or execute programs with mouse gestures with the help of dedicated plugins.

Another good thing about StrokeIt is that it runs on low resources and doesn't hamper computer performance at all, which means it could be safely installed on both older and newer systems.

As a conclusion, StrokeIt is the kind of tool that does its job, proving very useful to those who like to control the running apps with their mouse.
