Sorry for hesitating so long, but that's one of my macros that I'm not quite happy with yet :-( So no new download link...

Two probs, the configuration is just too complicated and confusing for normal users, and additionally still no workaround found for this really annyoing problem: Impossible to tell for [b]SURE [/b]whether the mouse is over a selected text at the moment, or over a link or elsewhere :-( In KM, whenever a link is clicked to open in a new page, it stays highlighted on the [b]old [/b]page, no matter what, and that means there exists the variable $LinkURL, no matter where the mouse hovers, grmpf. Same for selected text, whether its behind the mouse or anywhere else on the page, the variable $SelectedText does exist, and unfortunately those variables are all I have to check for, being no programmer, only dabbling with macro language. And googling around long and hard for a javascript didn't help either. That is, there was actually some js command for un-selecting a text and focus ("blur"), but no way in the world to un-FOCUS an old link with it in K-Meleon. Perhaps even a gecko-bug, no idea. 
Personally I can live with having to first left-click somewhere on a page to UNselect old links and un-select a text (e.g. highlighted from a page search), if I wanna get the plain-page-gesture, but how many macro-users would put up with that, so often triggering the wrong function because an old link still has the dotted line around it, or there's still some text highlighted from a page search...

Actually in the second version I had created some nice extra-functions that I love (e.g. a command to open several dictionaries at once to look up a selected text, and such stuff), but the whole thing is nowhere near a postable version yet, the code all cluttered. Had gotten too frustrated with that absolutely uncurable linkfocus-bug and at last given up finishing the whole thing at some point :-/

Perhaps some day I'll work at it again, but certainly not soon. If at all :-( Would require to think up a nice default-configuration for multi-gestures, so that at least users could try that thing without struggling with the complicated macro-configuration first. Lots of work, but my other nearly-finished macros (since ages) have higher priority, because those don't contain any unsolvable probs, just need some polishing yet ;-)

Well, sorry :-/[/quote]
