Configurable gesture actions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would love a feature that instead of using pan to switch between multiple
hosts would allow me to switch between windows in a screen session.  

Something like a switch in the options screen:  swipe-{left,right}
radiobutton menu with () switch to next connectbot session and () send the
following chars: [   ]

This would be very nice to have.

It would be nice to extend beyond just CTRL-A etc for swipes, and have fully 
user
configurable gestures (I.E. be able to specify our own key combos for screen
swipes/taps, as opposed to pick from a list)

Would make common commands quicker & more easy to perform without having to 
open the
keyboard/virtual keyboard.

This would be a valuable enhancement to the camera key functionality too.

I would also enjoy customizable gestures. For example, make swipe left/right 
move left/
right in irssi. This is not the only example, but it is the one that 
immediately comes to mind 
for me.

If you are looking for a method to implement the custom gestures drawing, look 
at the 
implementation in dolphin. Has the option to draw, then associate a command, 
then shows 
a list with all the drawings and their functionality.

This would be extremely useful. A great example is the Dolphin (HD) browser. 
Especially on phones that do not have physical keyboards (more and more out 
there) -- Nexus S like phones being the prime example of not having any keys.

I would use this feature routinely if it were available.  At the risk of making 
the request more complicated than necessary, I would use different 
configurations for different systems.  On one system, I would have the gestures 
bound to switching between windows in a screen session.  On another system, 
however, I would want to change the bindings to a command which would switch to 
another chat room.

For this reason, I would like to be able to pick from a set of saved gesture 
definitions, rather than have to manually re-define the gestures every time I 
switched to another host.  Ideally, the gesture bindings would automatically 
switch when I changed hosts, so connectbot would have to save a separate set of 
bindings per host.  Again, this may be a feature which would add more 
complication than value for most people, but I'll leave my comment here just in 
case other people want to chime in with a "me, too" or a "no way".
