I was looking for All-in one gestures but it said something about compatibility problems with FF3, and a link to another addon called FireGestures
dont know if its better or worse but its pretty damn awesome too
I love the number-in-url increment gesture. I can just draw this shape and it'll go to the next page of the topic. wicked!

okay, let me first to say that, if your computer is years+ old, do NOT use tool bar on taskbar, it slows the process down.

It minimizes everything so you can see your desktop. I also removed my windows key ages ago (lost way too many games because of it).

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, I couldn't find it in the OP

Shortcut to highlight the address bar: alt+D or F6 they both work

For me it works like this, alt+D highlights it and F6 removes the highlight.

Interesting find, I tested a little and to me it seems like F6 takes the roll of removing if used together with alt+d.

However as a standalone key, hence if you haven't clicked alt+d just before it works the same way as alt+d

Actually if you tap f6 twice, meaning the first action highlighted your browser, you will just remove the highlight. This doesn't work for alt+d

When would you ever have more than a few things open at once where you needed to window+D, Alt+tab is fine because I'm not a retard with 40 windows/games/programs open at once. besides alt+tab lets you cycle between them anyways. Firefox also has tabbed browsing.

CL wasn't around 10 years ago.

BTW, I made a thread like this ages ago: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=83736

When would you ever press the windows key during a starcraft game? Seriously though, Nobody is forcing you to use win+e win+r win+d or just win+arrows but It's still the most essential key for navigating.

Im sure you can image a scenario where minimizing everything can be useful but if you really can't then think of it as a way to instantly be able to for example acess your w/e at the desktop (for example I often download things directly to the desktop and clean it up a little later).

Alt+tab has nothing to do with wanting to minimize your stuff. (btw tab+win cycles without the icon in the middle of the screen which can be comfortable, especially if you prefer to use only a few things simultaneously as you said)

How do you acess your calculator? mspaint? Most people I know uses win+r + type calc/mspaint.. I think you should replace your winkey (with scroll lock if you threw it away) and use chaos launcher to disable it ;p

your thread was very sweet i'll add it to the OP

That sounds a little fishy to be honest? Have you googled what your shutting down? Consider win+r -> Msconfig - > Startup and maybe uncheck everything that you dont want
