Is there a way to perform OS X's swipe gestures using Windows-style mouse and keyboard?
In this case OS X 10.7 runs as a guest inside a virtualization environment. To OS X it appears as if a standard PC keyboard and two-button mouse are attached over USB. These two are the only input devices present.
Edit: I don't mean to perform the same finger movements, like swiping 3 fingers over a trackpad. My question is whether there is a list of standardized keyboard shortcuts, or combinations of keyboard and mouse actions, which quickly does the same as swipes.

alecail almost 12 yearsWhat are you using exactly to virtualize OS X 10.7 ?
