Description tnagy 2003-12-13 13:06:15 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

Like in the kde pager where the mouse wheel helps switching desktops, the mouse wheel could be used in the tabwidgets to switch between the tabs. In my opinion this behaviour is better than the point and click when many tabs are opened.

I have tried to add this feature to konqueror and made a patch for it. However it only works when the mouse is on the tabwidget and not on the tabbar. In fact, when scrolling on the tabbar, the scroll event is redirected to the page opened and not to the tabwidget. It even happens when scrolling on a disabled tab, which is in my opinion a bit counter-intuitive.

I have thought about subclassing a tabbar, but it would require to do that for every tabwidget encountered (konsole, kdevelop, konversation ..). Would it be possible to change the class KTabBar to obtain this behaviour with the mouse wheel ?
