Thought this was interesting if anyone else wanted to mess around. Merge both modded registry files again.Right click on the Elan Pointing Device icon in the lower right, select Properties.Edit the registry branches, SmartPad and SmartPadDisplay, and export the files so they won't get overwritten in the next few steps.I essentially just turned on all possible displayable options and then enabled the gestures I want to use with the actions I wanted them to link to. The application will learn it and trigger the specified action whenever the gesture is repeated.
On the Properties window, switch to the Driver tab and click the Update Driver button. Now you can assign any action to the particular gesture. Look for the Mice and pointing devices, double-click the device to open its properties.
This is editable by right-clicking on the Elan icon in the bottom right of the taskbar. To fix mouse drivers related issues: Right-click the Windows start button and select Device Manager on the menu. "Func" fields indicate the function of the gesture, ELAN has built in 20 you can refer to:Ī = execute the following program found in the corresponding "Path" field.ġ4 = open the "favorites" menu. "Path" fields refer to program locations, C:\Windows\notepad.exe opens notepad, for example. The SmartPad branch holds the gesture settings and SmartPadDisplay sets which gestures show up in the gesture suite.įields ending in "Display" turn gestures on and off in the gesture suite, 0 = disable, 1 = enable.įields ending in "Enable" turn gestures on and off, 0 = disable, 1 = enableįields ending in "ShowItem" show the field in the gesture suite, 0 = disable, 1 = enable In the registry, the two branches are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech. I can't attach the registry files but the changes I made are pretty simple. Three fingers swipe up to maximize window (and again to de-maximize) Only works in Windows Explorer for some reason.? Ideas?įour fingers down/up to hide/show all windows (reveal/hide desktop) Three finger swipe left and right to go forward/back Three finger tap/click for middle-click (opens links in new tab) Two finger rotate (pictures, for example)
I figured out how to enable them through editing the registry so they show up and bypass the gesture suite all together to 'unlock' these 'hidden' gestures. Initially it looks pretty limited in the gestures you can configure, but in poking around in the driver from MSI I found a folder that contained a ton of example videos of each of the gestures - including ones that aren't shown or adjustable in the Elantech gesture suite, indicating the functionality for other gestures is built in but not available to the user. The Elantech driver comes with a gesture suite much like the Synaptics gesture suite, set up for adjusting the input settings and such. Hi all, I just got my hands on an MSI GS60 Ghost Pro (Win 8.1 64-bit) and have been quite pleased with the machine so far.except for the touchpad.
