Yes they are gestures. There are a Firefox extension that works this way

Yes, it works like mouse gestures. The difference is while you draw a mouse
gesture you can do it anywhere on the screen, and you can draw different
kind of "symbols". When you use Drag'n'Go, you can only draw to a direction
(left, right, up, down) and you "drag" an icon.

I think this is a much faster way than a sidebar etc. However, this feature
is much more complicated for a new users. But like mouse gestures, once you
get used to it, I think it'll improve your work speed and reduce
unnecessarily mouse moments.

True. I think this feature is for more "advanced" users and should, like the
mouse gestures, be disabled by default.
Sorry for making this so unclear with my poor English.
