Set Synaptics "three finger press" to an action?

In the settings panel for certain Synaptics clickpad/touchpads is an option for executing a "program" on three-finger-presses. I'm hoping there's an easy way to have a three-finger-press excute an action, like emitting key presses.
I tried setting a vb-script, but it doesn't always activate the script. The script I tried:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^w"
MsgBox("Hello world")

With this set, it sometimes presents the "hello world" message box. It never seems to emit ctrl+w, which is my goal.

What operating system do you use? Some Windows flavor I imagine since you mentioned vb-script. – terdon – 12 years ago
