OK, so mouse gestures are available, but what are they? Here you need to consult the VLC documentation, which is online. Problem is, clicking the Help button does not help, because I could not find a reference to mouse gestures. This is probably because VLC is a volunteer effort.
How to use mouse gestures in VLC Media Player
Download: https://urluso.com/2vCaKN
My solution was to use Duck Duck Go to search for "vlc mouse gestures," which got me this page: _Gestures. As the page admits, mouse gesture support is rudimentary. For instance, we cannot customize gestures. Nevertheless, the available ones are sufficient to make movie viewing on Windows tablets tolerable.
Under TOOLS, I have PREFERENCES, then INTERFACE SETTINGS but there is not an option for mouse gestures. Under TOOLS, I have CUSTOMIZE INTERFACES but again, there is not an option for mouse gestures.
The features of VLC makes it unmatchable from all the available media players. You might be using VLC Media Player from years and being a power user, you might have discovered and used every available feature of this player at least once but something is still left.
VLC media player provides so many important features and many of them are usually used while playing a video or audio. Its frustrating to move through options for configuration. To make the task easier, VLC media player have provided mouse gesture support which makes it very easy to adjust settings just by moving mouse.
VLC media player can load your desktop as an input device. This means that you can use the Convert / Save feature to save a video of your desktop, effectively turning vlc media player into screen capture software.
Like the programmable buttons, you can configure edge gestures using the HP Accessory Center. This app offers quite a bit of customisation. This can be useful if you like to bind certain keys for specific tasks depending on the app. For example, I can assign Play/Pause to a specific button for VLC media player. But when I'm using the browser, pressing this button brings me back to the previous page instead. You get the idea. The HP Accessory Center has a battery indicator. HP says the mouse will last up to 12 weeks on a single charge, while a 1-minute charge is good for 3 hours of usage.

The VLC media player just celebrated its 15th birthday in February 2016, marking a decade and a half of hassle-free video playback for hundreds of millions of users on virtually every major operating system. The free and open-source player is so powerful and easy to use that it has almost completely vanquished all would-be competitors in its rise to the top.
VLC media player (previously the VideoLAN Client and commonly known as simply VLC) is a free and open-source, portable, cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop operating systems and mobile platforms, such as Android, iOS and iPadOS. VLC is also available on digital distribution platforms such as Apple's App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store.
The VideoLAN software originated as a French academic project in 1996. VLC used to stand for "VideoLAN Client" when VLC was a client of the VideoLAN project. Since VLC is no longer merely a client, that initialism no longer applies.[19][20] It was intended to consist of a client and server to stream videos from satellite dishes across a campus network. Originally developed by students at the École Centrale Paris, it is now developed by contributors worldwide and is coordinated by VideoLAN, a non-profit organization. Rewritten from scratch in 1998, it was released under GNU General Public License on February 1, 2001, with authorization from the headmaster of the École Centrale Paris. The functionality of the server program, VideoLan Server (VLS), has mostly been subsumed into VLC and has been deprecated.[21] The project name has been changed to VLC media player because there is no longer a client/server infrastructure.
In 2007 the VLC project decided, for license compatibility reasons, not to upgrade to the just-released GPLv3.[25] After 13 years of development, version 1.0.0 of VLC media player was released on July 7, 2009.[26] Work began on VLC for Android in 2010 and it has been available for Android devices on the Google Play store since 2011.[27][28] In September 2010, a company named "Applidium" developed a VLC port for iOS under GPLv2 with the endorsement of the VLC project, which was accepted by Apple for their App Store.[29][30] In January 2011, after VLC developer Rémi Denis-Courmont's complaint to Apple about the licensing conflict between the VLC's GPLv2 and the App store's policies,[31] the VLC had been withdrawn from the Apple App Store by Apple.[32] Subsequently, in October 2011 the VLC authors began to relicense the engine parts of VLC from the GPL-2.0-or-later to the LGPL-2.1-or-later to achieve better license compatibility, for instance with the Apple App Store.[33][34][35][36] In July 2013 the VLC application could be resubmitted to the iOS App Store under the MPL-2.0.[37] Version 2.0.0 of VLC media player was released on February 18, 2012.[12][38] The version for the Windows Store was released on March 13, 2014. Support for Windows RT, Windows Phone and Xbox One were added later.[39] As of 2016[update] VLC is the third in the sourceforge.net overall download count,[40] and there have been more than 3 billion downloads.[41]
The default GUI is based on Be API on BeOS, Cocoa for macOS, and Qt 4 for Linux and Windows, but all give a similar standard interface. The old default GUI was based on wxWidgets on Linux and Windows.[49] VLC supports highly customizable skins through the skins2 interface,[50] and also supports Winamp 2 and XMMS skins.[51] Skins are not supported in the macOS version.[52] VLC has ncurses,[53] remote control,[54] and telnet[55] console interfaces. There is also an HTTP[56] interface, as well as interfaces for mouse gestures and keyboard hotkeys.[57]
The desktop version of VLC media player has some filters that can distort, rotate, split, deinterlace, and mirror videos as well as create display walls or add a logo overlay during playback. It can also output video as ASCII art.
Because VLC is a packet-based media player it plays almost all video content. Even some damaged, incomplete, or unfinished files can be played, such as those still downloading via a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It also plays m2t MPEG transport streams (.TS) files while they are still being digitized from an HDV camera via a FireWire cable, making it possible to monitor the video as it is being played. The player can also use libcdio to access .iso files so that users can play files on a disk image, even if the user's operating system cannot work directly with .iso images.
VLC media player can play high-definition recordings of D-VHS tapes duplicated to a computer using .mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospaceCapDVHS.exe. This offers another way to archive all D-VHS tapes with the DRM copy freely tag. Using a FireWire connection from cable boxes to computers, VLC can stream live, unencrypted content to a monitor or HDTV. VLC media player can display the playing video as the desktop wallpaper, like Windows DreamScene, by using DirectX, only available on Windows operating systems. VLC media player can record the desktop and save the stream as a file, allowing the user to create screencasts.[62][63][64] On Microsoft Windows, VLC also supports the Direct Media Object (DMO) framework and can thus make use of some third-party DLLs (Dynamic-link library). On most platforms, VLC can tune into and view DVB-C, DVB-T, and DVB-S channels. On macOS the separate EyeTV plugin is required, on Windows it requires the card's BDA Drivers.
VLC media player is cross-platform, with versions for Windows, Android, ChromeOS, BeOS, Windows Phone, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, OS/2, Linux, and Syllable.[69] However, forward and backward compatibility between versions of VLC media player and different versions of OSes are not maintained over more than a few generations.[70] 64-bit builds are available for 64-bit Windows.[71]
The VLC media player software installers for the macOS platform and the Windows platform include the libdvdcss DVD decryption library, even though this library may be legally restricted in certain jurisdictions.[95][96]
The VLC media player software is able to read audio and video data from DVDs that incorporate Content Scramble System (CSS) encryption, even though the VLC media player software lacks a CSS decryption license.[104] The unauthorized decryption of CSS-encrypted DVD content or unauthorized distribution of CSS decryption tools may violate the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act.[104] Decryption of CSS-encrypted DVD content has been temporarily authorized for certain purposes (such as documentary filmmaking that uses short portions of DVD content for criticism or commentary) under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act anticircumvention exemptions that were issued by the US Copyright Office in 2010.[105] However, these exemptions do not change the DMCA's ban on the distribution of CSS decryption tools; including those distributed with VLC.[106] 2ff7e9595c
