HowtoMatrix

It’s easy to set up and use your own own mouse or pen gestures with Easystroke, which can execute custom predefined actions when it recognizes gestures on the screen.

DEB packages for Ubuntu are available from the project’s site. Download and install the Easystroke package, and start Easystroke from Applications->Universal Access->Easystroke Gesture Recognition.

To start Easystroke when you log in, add the command easystroke to System->Preferences->Sessions.

Easystroke will start running in your notification area. Click on the icon (which will change appearance to show your last gesture) to open the configuration window.
