Thanks for your report! 1) Is a duplicate of BUG 431017 (so this is no reason to keep this report open) 2) The scrollbar has been replaced by a "zoombar" in 21.04 so the code is completely different. Please try again with version 21.04 if this still exists (Release Candidate: https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/unstable/kdenlive-21.04.0-rc2-x86_64.appimage) 3) There are shortcuts to zoom and scroll the timeline! Got to menu Settings > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts… - "Zoom In" (default Shortcut Ctrl++) - "Zoom Out" (default Shortcut Ctrl+-) To scroll you should move the timeline cursor with the arrow keys. To make bigger steps try to hold Ctrl or Shift Please close this report if 2) and 3) work are fixed or tell us if there is anything else with these points that is not covered with my explanations. Thanks for the quick feedback. 1) Glad to know this has been confirmed as a problem. It seems a lot better already with the nightly as well. 2) Confirming this is no longer an issue in the nightly. It's a lot easier to move with the scrollbar now. 3) Thanks for letting me know about Ctrl-+/-, very useful. However, I feel it would still be useful to have a hotkey combination that can scroll the timeline without moving the timebar, to not lose the current position, but to see different portions on each side. In summary, I feel the latest nightly build already addresses a lot of the pains that were a major slowdown, but scrolling hotkeys (e.g. alt+shift+left/right?) would still be useful, as well as perfecting the fix for #431017. Thanks for your answer. As only 3) seems to be still valid (for this report) I changed the title. Not really sure if this is the place to say this or if I should open a new bug, but I wish the timeline supports scrolling with a horizontal mouse wheel, i.e. I have a mouse with one of those and now intuitively use it to scroll horizontally on most KDE stuff but now that I needed to edit a video that ability is notoriously lacking in kdenlive. Which is a bummer, 'cause the only way I found was clicking the scroll handle and dragging it, zooming in/out (!) or directly setting a time in the timeline monitor. What type of mouse is that? Do you have 2 scroll-wheels? Timeline: With the normal mouse wheel you can horizontally scroll, shift + mouse wheel for vertically scroll, ctrl + mouse wheel for zoom in/out. (In reply to emohr from comment #5) > What type of mouse is that? Do you have 2 scroll-wheels? Yup, it's a Logitech MX Master 3. It has a horizontal scroll wheel for the thumb > With the normal mouse wheel you can horizontally scroll Oooooooooooooooooh Thank you. Dumb me am so used to that thumb horizontal scroll wheel that kind of forgot about the vertical one. Still though I do think it would be nice the timeline supported scrolling with a horizontal scroll wheel. This seems to be the same command for horizontal scrolling like you tilt the normal mouse wheel left/right. Yes, this is not implemented. That would be a new Qt command to implement. That would mean we add to above point 3: Add horizontal mouse wheel scrolling. I updated the title too. |
