Hi Bettina, one4you The combination of mouse wheel and modifyer could get very complicate. And that could get really worse on OS like Linux (collidation with different used window managers, where such combinations could be already in use). Closed. Just because it may not work on one platform is hardly an reason to leave the feature out entirely. That's like saying we won't Why not do what mozilla has done, and provide a configuration diaglog that allows the user to set what they want the mouse wheel to do with each modifier key. If it doesn't work because the window manager steals the event, then well, ok.. but at least we give the users the option of being able to use this if they're on one of the many platforms that doesn't steal it. So I respectfully ask that you reconsider your decision to close this issue. This task could have been peacefully closed as DUPLICATE to Issue 18421 . In Linux there is no problem for sure to use for instance Shift+Mousewheel to scroll horizontally (or any other shortcut for that matter). This should be reopened, or marked as duplicate (of issue #17162 for instance), but not closed with a WONTFIX!! |
