Gestures
The Gestures Preferences pane contains settings pertaining to using a tablet to control
Motion.
You cannot turn on gestures in Motion unless you have a tablet attached to your
computer and the Handwriting Recognition is turned on in the Ink preferences in
System Preferences. For convenience, you can open Ink Preferences directly from the
Gestures Preferences pane by clicking the Open Ink Preferences button.
For more information on using gestures, see “
Input
These settings control how Motion knows when your pen movements should be
interpreted as gestures.
Input Method: Lets you choose between observing the settings in your Mac OS
Preferences and your Wacom Preferences or using gestures only when a trigger is
enabled.
When you set the input to require a trigger, your pen and tablet act as a mouse until
you press one of the buttons on the pen or press a modifier key. This indicates that you
are entering a gesture. Releasing the button or key returns the pen to normal mouse
state.
Trigger: Sets which trigger method to be used: Pen Button 1, Pen Button 2, or the
Control key on your keyboard.
Allow gestures in the air: Lets you trigger gestures without pressing the tip of the pen
on the tablet. This option is only available when a trigger is used to activate gestures.
