This is a great thread! I have avoided working with gestures, too, only because I thought they were too complicated for my pea brain. Well, maybe they still are, but now I have some information to work with!
I have a question: In the drop-down list of animations, how come some of the animations in my inventory don't show up? I'm not sure, but they might be no-copy animations that aren't visible on that list. Would that mean you can't use no-copy animations in gestures?
That would be NOT a good thing!

I believe that you can only include animations for which you have full permissions. So only those (and the SL built in animations) show up in the list. _____________________

If you want examples of (1) text substitution and (2) script control, cut & paste this link into your browser: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w112/walkermoore/secondlife/gesture-tips_001.jpg Page might take a while to load due to the demand created by my half-naked avatar in the same shot.  In a nutshell: (1) Anime Wink uses the 'Replace With' field. Once activated, everytime user types a regular wink, it will be replaced with one in the anime format. (2) Most AOs can be enabled/disabled by typing '/1 ao on' and '/1 ao off' into chat. By creating a gesture with a shortcut key (note the F5 selection at the top), and the scripted command in the 'Chat to Say' field, you'll only have to hit a single key for that script command to be executed in future. I just wanted to add that a gesture doesn't have to be triggered with a slash. You can have it triggered by just a normal word. So if you set the trigger for you laughing to be, say, "haha" then any time you say "haha" anywhere in a sentence, the getsure would be triggered. _____________________

With regards gestures, a forward slash trigger works anywhere on the chat line. Walker, it doesn't work that way for me. I tried it. In fact, the ONLY way I could get a slash command gesture to run was if it was in its own chat line, with no text either before or after it. _____________________
