Product Description:

Basically, Multiclutch allows you to assign custom keyboard shortcuts in a given app to a given gesture. Want swipes to change tabs in Safari? Done. The same in iChat? Done. Want zoom-in to open emails in Mail, zoom-out to close windows in every app, and a swipe down to bring up Quicksilver? Done done done. MultiClutch works by installing a simple input manager that catches gesture events, looks to see what shortcut you've defined for it in the frontmost app (if you haven't defined anything, it behaves in the standard manner), and performs that shortcut. You use a System Preference Pane to customize gestures with an interface similar to the shortcut-customization table in the Keyboard & Mouse pane. You can "bind" gestures in a given Cocoa app (due to the nature of input managers, Carbon apps are not supported) or globally. In addition to the four swipe directions, zooming in and out and rotate in either direction, I've been experimenting with "combo" gestures. Right now, I've added the Zoom in, Zoom out gesture (ie in one fluid motion) and visa-versa, with more perhaps to come if I find them to be intuitive and useful enough.

MultiClutch Troubleshooting Reportnon-command binding - Version: Beta 5, 11/6/2008 11:02AM PST

The only reason I wanted to download this app was to bind Zoom In/Out to Google Earth, at first glance it seems that you can only bind actions to keystrokes that involve the command key. Since I want to pass on + and - to Google earth it's no use to me :(

Likely very difficult, but with the old pads being able to accept a degree of gestures in that they can "see" two finger panning, perhaps you can hack together support for older models as well? It would sure be nice to be able to flip around Spaces based upon trackpad gestures.
