This utility will help you to launch applications like Mozilla Firefox, GIMP 2, Kwrite just by drawing symbols on the drawing panel in Linux OS running KDE graphical desktop environment. You may also assign symbols for opening websites, text files just by drawing symbol on the drawing panel with just 1 finger in case of touch-pad or by hovering mouse over the nodes in drawing panel if there is no touch-pad.

This utility offers a unique design for drawing / assigning symbols.

The user is not restricted to just alphabets or numbers for drawing symbols. He/she may assign any symbol of their choice.

The domain i.e number of symbols the user may draw / assign is unlimited.
