Which zoom effects? Because Ctrl+wheel is used in KDE to zoom the content of the window, for program that have that function. So this may conflict with application shortcuts... wow I didnt' know this feature existed ;-) I thought of the KWin effects which use the global shortcut Meta+= to zoom in, Meta+- to zoom out. So zoom, looking glass, etc. I think Meta+Wheel is free, anyway. But since There are otherwise unused Windows keys, and these are window management functions, the Windows keys may be used, too, where available. Meta +Wheel is free and the most intuitive ... *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 96431 *** *** Bug 449383 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 329634 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We can add a custom ability for this effect to use `Meta + wheel up` and `Meta + wheel down` shortcuts. But I guess this is worse than having a general possibility to create mouse shortcuts (see Bug 473109). So I add it to dependencies of current bug. By default it's bound to Meta+Ctrl+mouse wheel now. |
Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages It would be nice to use the zoom effects with the mouse wheel. I think in Compiz that is possible. So something like pressing Ctrl+Meta and mouse wheel up is zoom in and mouse wheel down is zoom out. This would be a nice feature as the shortcuts are not working with a German keyboard ('=' requires the shift key and is on the same key as '0').
