Application exclusions

A helpful feature would be the ability to add applications to exclude from StrokeIt. For example, the Opera browser has mouse commands built in so I have do disable StrokeIt whenever I want to use Opera.

I'd like to second this feature request. It would be very nice to be able to exclude applications. For example, I like to right-drag things around my desktop, which then pops up a menu asking my whether I want to move, copy, or create a shortcut. But with StrokeIt enabled, and right-dragging is treated as a gesture. So being able to turn off gesture support for specific applications would be great. Or, only have it listen for gestures if the mouse is over a window that has commands defined for it.

Perhaps a work around until this is added is to hold down the control while you drag, which temporarily disables stroke it, or, you can right click on StrokeIt's tray icon to disable it (the icon turns red), do what you want, and then right click on the icon again (back to white) to re-enable strokeit.

Another option, that I just happened to think of, you can define the application that you don't want want gestures for, and then define actions for that application using gestures you don't want to do anything, and have no commands associated with them.

For example, if you don't want "/ Down" to minimize Internet Explorer, the add an action to the IE definitions that uses "/ Down" and don't give it any commands.
