Description ajuc 2008-01-31 22:40:41 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

In many kde applications there are two buttons:
 enlarge font and shrink font.

They are useful, but it would be nice, if user can hover mouse over that buttons and change font size by many levels by simply rotating mouse wheel.

When font size changes, windows is refreshed, and it takes some time, so it would be faster, if user can change font size by many levels at once. I am aware of the Ctrl+mouse wheel shortcut, but it's nice to be able to do this with only one hand ( please, no cheap jokes here :) ), and without using keyboard.

There can be only one button, which combines +/- font size, so people with wheel in their mouses can have more important thing in place of one of the two buttons.

Similar, other buttons/widgets can be "hot-spots" as well, when it makes sense.

Greetings, and sorry for my English, hope you'll understand.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
