Pick an action.

Every gesture runs one action. Nine kinds keep the list short, and one search finds an action by its name or by what it does.

  • Search ranks the title first, then the kind, then the words in the explanation
  • Every result shows its kind, so typing dark or capture finds the action
  • Open an app, a link or a file, press any keys, run a command or type text

Nine kinds. One search.

Every action sits in one of nine kinds, and the search finds it by its name or by what it does.

Chain them.

A workflow is a named list of steps. Each step is any action, or a wait, and they run top to bottom with a quarter-second gap.

  • Build it on the Trackpad page: name, icon, step cards, move up and down, Add an action, Add a wait
  • Run now to try it, or put Run a workflow on any gesture. Run it again while it is going and it stops
  • Ready-made starting points: Quiet focus, Presentation and Leave the desk
  • Saved in your backups, and a rimline:// link runs it by name

Chain actions under one name.

Mute, mic off, dark mode, open Mail. One double tap runs the lot.

Slide to step.

Give an edge a stepper instead of a level. Slide along it and each notch presses a shortcut, with a tick under your finger.

  • Six steppers: Browser tabs, Desktops, Scrub video, Undo and redo, Switch windows and Zoom
  • Up or right goes forward. Reverse the direction, or pick a Fine, Normal or Coarse step size, under the edge
  • A fast slide never presses more than three times per move
