# Changelog

## 2.0.18 - 2025-05-24

 - Allow to execute actions on gesture begin and end

    Until now, it was only possible to execute the MOUSE_CLICK, SEND_KEYS an
    RUN_COMMAND actions when the gesture started or when the gesture ended.

    Include a third option, <on>begin-and-end</on> allowing to run the actions
    both when the gesture starts and ends.

    When this new setting is used, MOUSE_CLICK starts presses the mouse button
    when the gesture starts and releases it when the gesture ends.

    In the case of RUN_COMMAND, a environment variable is set
    (TOUCHEGG_GESTURE_ON) allowing the executed script to take different actions
    at the beginning and the end of the gesture.
