Description f00-mlu 2001-09-08 14:45:18 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kde
Version:           unknown (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Debian Package 4:2.2.0-final-3 (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20010810 (Debian prerelease)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.9
OS/Compiler notes: 

Currently when the mousewheel is
activated KDE assumes vertical scrolling
whenever there is a vertical scrollbar
present. However when there is only a
horizontal scrollbar present it does
not assume horizontal scrolling. I think
it would be reasonable to let KDE assume
horizontal scrolling in such cases.

Secondly it would make sense to be able
to specifically trigger horizontal
scrolling when both horizontal and
vertical scrollbars are present. Windows
allows this using the Shift key as
modifier; that is hold down Shift use
the mouse wheel and the window scrolls
horizontally don't hold down Shift
use the mouse wheel and it scrolls
vertically. This is a nice solution
though it would be even nicer to have it
be a regular KDE keybinding that could
be set to any key.

I am using KDE 3.2.1 and this would be so useful sometimes...
Comment 2 Jay 2004-06-18 12:20:37 UTC
Same for me. Especially column view mode in Konqueror would benfit from that.
Comment 3 Thibaut Cousin 2004-11-05 17:27:18 UTC
Probably time to close this bugreport... In KDE 3.3 horizontal scrolling is automatically used when there isn't any vertical slider, and the Alt key can be used to choose between horizontal and vertical scrolling.

I also vote for a close, or 'Works for me' (with KDE 3.4.x and 3.5 beta1).

Closing as per #3
