(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: 3.0 (KDE 2.0 Release Candidate 2) Severity: wishlist Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux) OS: Linux 2.2.17 i686 (Debian Package 4:2.0-20001013-0) I like konquerors speed/size compared to mozilla but one of the features I miss from mozilla is the ability to go forwards and backwards quickly with alt-scrollwheel. This can be very handy to keep from having to move hand all over keyboard to use alt-left or to have to move all the way to the toolbar and click back button.. (wheel up is fowards down is backwards.. doesn't matter too much but it would be best to keep it compatible)
This is the only feature I've found noticeably missing from the desktop environment as a whole. Put this in and I'll never ask for anything again :-) Seriously though I'd think some kind of generalizable mechanism for binding modifier-wheel-up and modifier-wheel-down would be very powerful for the power-user. Rather than just hacking it into konqueror perhaps control-wheel-up/down for up and down the alphabet by first letter of name and alt-wheel-up/down to switch categories in kaddress could be valuable; similarly for being able to bind switching desktops (a la enlightenment) to the wheel would be handy as well as an extremely powerful customization option. Perhaps just considering wheel-up and wheel-down as two 'keys' and allowing them to be bound via key bindings would plug nicely into the existing configuration framework; but I'll leave the design decisions to you folks. While this feature in konqueror is nice I'm perfectly willing to wait for a more generalizable binding mechanism for the wheel if feasible in the foreseeable future. Thanks for making everything else perfect and getting better :-) Krishna Sethuraman krishnoid@ebates.com
Apparently, I lied about never asking for anything else again (based on the other bugs I've since voted for). But I do think this would be handy.
