gMote 1.4

Hi everybody!

gMote is now at 1.4, and it has some features that many of you requested. First among these is the "keystrokes" function. You're no longer restricted to gestures that carry out simple actions involving one simulated key combination - you can input a series of them along with any other text.

This involves using a very simple script. An example is "[ctrl:ab]". If you assign this to a gesture, then drawing it will trigger the Ctrl key, followed by "a" and "b" and then the release of the Ctrl key. The result in a word processor is that all text is selected and made bold. Another example is "username{tab}password{enter}". This would fill in a log-in form (not recommended if you share your computer though, as gMote gestures are very easy to see and modify!).

There are a bunch of other bug-fixes and new features, I hope you enjoy finding them.

PS. There were a few issues after the initial update which have now been fixed. These were that gestures could only bring up an Explorer window, and a crash when assigning a gesture to launch a program or website. Fixed! Download again =).

Go get it.
