One needs both a mouse and keyboard to get around most computer tasks. Even if some lightweight processes can be done with one of the peripherals, nothing beats this perfect combination when it comes to more complex actions. Still, why not save time and effort by sticking to mouse only. Portable StrokesPlus.net makes that possible by allowing you to create gestures that act as shortcuts for whatever task you might think about.

Gestures are represented by drawn symbols that activate a process, execute a command, or open a service each time they are reproduced, There is no limitation to how a gesture looks. You can use dots, lines, circles, or whatever shape you wish, and assign it to any action. As longs as the gesture are quicker than the keyboard, the purpose is fulfilled.

Actions are already defined shortcuts with gestures, modifiers, and scripts. These actions can be categorized and deploy at will. For example, one can add new actions for clipboards, browsers, running apps, or whatever available environment. The Action List has menus for each created gesture. Previewing the sketches is also a possibility. If you have trouble remembering what models must be drawn, check out the list.

A portable tool skips the installation process and usually keeps its assets within the source directory. Copy that folder to any removable drive and employ the shortcut and gesture on any computer you might get access to.

Being non-invasive is another plus for the app. Besides managing actions, gestures, and scripts, the tool works from behind the system tray. To avoid mixing up keys, there is an activate/deactivate function in place.

As essential as a keyboard can be, its usefulness can be greatly reduced with an application such as Portable StrokesPlus.net. Coming up with shortcuts based on drawn lines only is a challenging thought at first, but as you come to get used to how things work, not using the keyboard at all will make perfect sense.
