Share your Better Touch Tool Gestures!
For those who don't know, Better Touch Tool is an awesome app that allows you to create new trackpad gestures and assign actions to them, adding new touch functionality and boosting your productivity/workflow in OS X. Would love to see what kind of setup you guys are running.
To start off, here's my current setup:

Two finger rotate clockwise = volume up, and anti clockwise =volume down, just like adjusting a volume knob. I can't live without my magic trackpad now.
In addition to this, fn+rotate right (or left) to increase (or decrease) brightness.
You guys are living on easy street. I have 7 pages worth of gestures for several applications.
One and only rule: 3 finger click/tap to open link in new tab
Better Touch Tool needs a "Gesture Store" where you can upload, rate, review and download popular gestures automatically.

Switching tabs by gesture is the only way to go. I use one and two-finger tip-taps for opening links in new tabs in and behind focus, respectively.
I use the 3 finger swipe for changing tabs as well. Chromebooks did it perfectly.
TIL I severely underuse BTT. All I have it for is adding "middle click".
I have so many hand gestures that when I'm using my laptop in public, the bloods and crips show up.
Global, Safari and Finder are mine
I have gestures setup for pretty much every app I use so if anyone is interested, I can share them.
Does anyone else get lag with BTT? Whenever I try and use one of my gestures it always seems to wait about a full second before performing the action. Whenever I use Jitouch instead the gestures are instant though, but Jitouch isn't as robust as BTT. I've tried looking it up, but while there are some posts about lag on BTT they all seem to be old and unhelpful. Funnily enough, old versions of BTT didn't have this lag, and I actually downgraded to a version that didn't have any lag, but eventually it said that version was no longer supported and I had to upgrade to continue using it. Any help would be appreciated.
five finger click: play pause music.
Tap sequences:
1234: fullscreen
4321: cmd Q
1324: next track
4231: previous track
2431: cmd W
Is that any more convenient than using the standard media controls on Apple keyboards?
5-finger push = full screen app
tab sequence 4-3-2-1 for reloading a tab in browser. It's like doing this "evil villain waiting gesture with your fingers on a table" :D
And in addition I use two-finger-pinch-out bound to CMD + W in a lot of programs, such as finder, all browsers (I prefer browser zooming with CMD + +/- anyways), system preferences and other small tools.
This allows me to easily close them when ever the window is active.
In addition two-finger tip-taps to navigate tabs left/right.
I'm baffled why this is not just part of OS X.
