Description Radek Novacek 2009-05-29 14:05:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.85)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

It would be great if there will be option to do mouse gestures with mouse wheel - I use them in FireFox (with FireGestures addon) for switching the tabs by holding right mouse button and scrolling with mouse wheel. I would like to have this feature thorough all KDE.

It seems not so hard to implement, but how should the settings display?

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
