To use this mouse gesture add-on, hold the right-mouse button (hold the right click), move in one direction and then release the right mouse button. You can use diagonal directions. Hence, you have eight different features for the eight different direction : this gives you Eight Mouse Gestures (smart, right?). If you do the gesture on a link, you have some different features.

        SW (South West, diagonal Down-Left) : Scroll to the bottom of the page
        NE (North East, diagonal Up-Right) : Reload the page
