I've been hunting for a post on how to have KDE "extract here" like Foresight Gnome edition does (it's really handy to one click extract archives). Post after post found via Google did nothing at all to help me out. Most tried to have you read how to do this manually by creating your own service menu and they would use xterm to extract. I wanted to use ark...mainly because it's there and it's a gui.
Then I decided to search KDE-Apps.org and viola! I found it. A handy little tool that allows you to right click on any archive and "extract here" with Ark. Here's how to install it.
gestikk is an application for nearly all netwm-conform windowmanagers (written in Python) that recognizes predefined mouse gestures and executes defined actions. For example, with gesture “down – left” you could run Firefox or simulate the keyboard shotcut
[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del]
which restarts the grahpical user interface (better: The Xserver). There are also included some usefull features like showing the gesture on the screen while drawing it and notifications when it has been recognized by gestikk (as a balloontip or as on screen display (OSD).
