Open multiple links at once with the "link to new tab" action

[AUTOMATIC1111]

All-in-one gestures plugin, which is of course, unavailable now thanks to Firefox devs, had a very useful behavior for open link in background gesture: you could start dragging anywhere on the page, and if when dragging you passed though a link (not necessarily started on it), that link would be opened when the gesture is finished. Please add this kind of functionality to Gesturefy.

This feature sounds very similar to "Keypress Gestures" #47 or is there a difference?

[AUTOMATIC1111]

Well, it's similar, but you didn't have to hold a button for that to work - Just do the gesture. Not having to aim to start the gesture at link really helps.

but you didn't have to hold a button

Then how do I distinguish the gesture from other gestures if you can move your mouse in any direction?

[AUTOMATIC1111]

The gesture is defined in settings just like all others. I don't move in any direction.

[Robbendebiene]

I have to admit that I prefer the other approach, because it allows more flexibility. Although it has its own drawback, because it requires an extra key press.

[AUTOMATIC1111]

Those are not approaches to the same thing and are not mutually exclusive. What I'm asking for in this issue is a modification to the "open in background tab" gesture, making it possible to use it to open a link without having to start it on the link.

I just started to use Gesturefy today. Have been using All-in-one gestures for many years and this was one of a handful gestures I used every day. I had the "Open links in tabs"-gestures defined as D-L-U-R, so if I started the gesture at the top of a list of search result then hovered the mouse over the list items to the bottom then just did the L-U-R-twist at the end I got all results in tabs. Sooo convenient and I would be sooo greatful if this could be added to gesturefy as well.

By the way, thanks for an excellent product.
