Boo! Ghostzilla - the ultimate in boss key browsing!
Wednesday, November 13, 2002 by Sander | Discussion: WinCustomize News
After years of being called a poster child for everything that's wrong with open source, the Mozilla project has generated some success since the release of 1.0, arguably opening up the world of web browsing again.
One of the strangest offshoots I've come across is Ghostzilla which enables you to conjure up a browser (using a special mouse movement) in your current application, regardless of what it is.
It's a little hard to explain, but there are animated screenshots on the web site which explain much better than I can.

I don't know, it just brings back too many bad memories of Black and White to try it.

Tried it - liked it - recommend it.
Our company has a bunch of pages out on the Net that help us keep up with some client-wide stats and stuff, so I'm on and off the Net constantly - this compliments the way I work well.
I set it up to run as close to a normal browser as possible and it's working just fine.

For that reason, I'm not sure I would like system-wide gestures. They'd need to be fairly complex to prevent misfires, and if they are complex, wouldn't it be easier to hit a shortcut on the taskbar, etc? I dunno. I've compared several of the complex gestures in Mozilla and it is about as fast to do the action in the traditional way. Maybe I am just not dexterous enough with them yet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
