## What it is
WGestures is a free, open-source global mouse gesture utility for Windows 7/8/10, written in C#. It lets users perform common actions (web search, window management, key sequences, command-line commands) by drawing gestures with the mouse, with extras like trigger corners, friction edges, modifier keys, and Lua scripting.

## Use cases
- control windows with mouse gestures
- search selected text with a mouse gesture
- trigger actions by moving mouse to screen corners
- lock or shut down the pc by rubbing the screen edge
- run custom commands or key sequences with mouse strokes
- reduce repetitive mouse and keyboard actions

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source mouse gesture tool on windows 7 through 10
- you prefer intuitive gestures with on-screen name hints and modifier keys
- you want extras like trigger corners, friction edges, and lua scripting

## When to avoid
- you need mouse gestures on macos or linux
- you require a tool with frequent updates or active new feature development
- your environment blocks unsigned or self-signed executables
