So to distinguish _clicking the left mouse button_ from _dragging your mouse to the left_, we chose letter `Z`.\n\nWheel directions may vary according to system configuration (Natural scroll direction setting) or some system tweaks (Karabiner\u0027s Reverse Vertical Scrolling, for example).\n\n## Known Issues\n\n### Right click does not work in some Java applications\n\nAn imperfect fix:\nTake WebStorm for example, open Preferences, then KeyMap, set the shortcut of \u201cShow Context Menu\u201d to `Button3 Click`.\n\n### Cannot assign some system-wide shortcuts to rules\n\nReason:\nmacOS respond to system-wide shortcuts before MacGesture.\n\nFix:\nDisable the shortcut first (for example in System Preferences \u2192 Keyboard \u2192 Shortcuts), then assign the shortcut in MacGesture, and re-enable the shortcut.\n\nCaveats:\nSome shortcuts still don\u0027t work with the fix above.
