This dialog is a means to create gesture chains. On the left side are names which represent gesture chains. Notice the and
icons. These buttons will add and delete selected gestures.
To add a new gesture chain, focus the white edit field located to the right of Name. Next, name the chain. Finally, using the buttons beneath Press to insert gesture, build the desired gesture chain.

Gestures may be disabled or have their sensitivity adjusted through the Gesture Settings Dialog. Default settings are provided which were thoroughly tested and found to be optimal; however, as mentioned in this section, there are many variables which affect tracking. What is optimal for one user may not be optimal for another. Don't be afraid to tweak options to find the optimal point -- the Default button reverts settings to their pre-defined, optimal point.
