While my next Tablet PC is currently on the FedEx vehicles, I've already got all the Windows Vista Tablet PC features enabled on my quad-core Workstation. Having a Wacom Graphics Tablet installed just happens to make all the handwriting recognition, panning, inking, visual cues, and pen flicks become available... and it certainly is great!
Pen flicks are extremely cool. If you flick the pen across the screen you can customize these gestures to do certain tasks. The scrolling flick gesture even gives some weighted inertia movement to scrolling in just about all Vista applications. Usually just using the scrollbar is easier and more accurate though. I can also do copy/paste functions, delete selections, undo, and close applications without touching the keyboard.
Pen flick gestures are the equivalent of keyboard shortcuts. They're not very discoverable, and you have to learn how to use them, but they're great for increasing efficiency.
Do you use Pen Flick gestures on a Tablet PC? What functions would you assign to these shortcuts? Wouldn't it be nice if Windows Mobile supported customizable gesture shortcuts?
