Command gestures are implemented behind the scenes as presentation (to
command) translators. You can define these yourself explicitly, rather
than using the :gesture keyword in define-command. Doing so grants you
more flexibility, including the ability to define use the :tester
function to programatically decide the applicability of the
translator. In this way you can test the pane which the gesture was
received in.
