Bug 394341

I think the method of scrolling through the timeline should be modified to feel more natural.

Zooming and Normal scrolling feels fine but when using the mousewheel to jump to the ends of clips, it's cumbersome and confusing even when doing it for a very long time.

I am referring to the function of Alt+Mousewheel (up and down) which works in the opposite configuration of normal timeline scrolling.


When moving through the timeline with the mousewheel (no modifier), mousewheel up makes the timeline move to the left and mousewheel down moves to the right. This feels natural.

However, when using Alt+Mousewheel to jump to the start and end of clips, the directions are flipped so when you Alt+Mousewheel Up it moves to the right.

I have been using Kdenlive for a very long time and I have never been able to get used to this because it breaks the natural flow of what is expected, even when knowing what will happen.

My suggestion is to swap the Alt+Mousewheel to use the directions that normal mousewheel uses.

TL:DR
Mousewheel Up = moves timeline to the left
Mousewheel Down = moves timeline to the right

Alt+Mousewheel Up = moves playhead to the right direction
Alt+Mousewheel Down = moves playhead to the left direction

Please switch the Alt+Mousehweel actions to work in conjunction with the directions that the normal mousewheel action uses.
