Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages When many tabs are opened, kde shows a little "<" ">" at the left in order to let you scroll through tabs. It would be nice to be able to achieve the same goal with the mouse wheel while the cursor is over the tabs. There is already such a bug reported for an old version of Kdevelop (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72213), but it's not exactly the same (it talks about the horizontal wheel only) and this wish applies to other applications as well.

Just checked out. Works wonderfully. Thanks Stephan!
Ouch, I was a little bit too quick... There is a small glitch with this function: When I edit a small file (with very few lines) and I use the wheel, nothing should happen. Unfortunately, KDevelop changes the actual file... This can be disturbing... It's not very important, though. If you have 3 minutes, Stepham, could you take a look at it? Please.. ;+)
I don't understand what you mean? KDevelop? What interface mode? Why does existance of tabsa depend on length of the edited file?
Thank you linux programmers. My wish came true.
Stephan this feature is working on KDE 3.3 Alpha 1. But it only works with the vertical wheel. If the mouse has a horizontal wheel it is ignoring it completely, whereas the scrollbars function properly with both mouse wheels.
Initially the orientation didn't matter until a two wheel mouse button owner complained about it (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=108411085019610&w=2). Now what? :-)
Ouch, I am really not clear here... Let me explain: The application I noticed this bug in is KDevelop. Everything is all-right now, it seems to work very nicely: when I have a lot of files open, I can change the active file (=chaging tabs) with my scroll wheel ONLY if the cursor is over the tabs -> this is a correct behaviour. The only glitch is when the file I am currently editing is short and thus KDevelop doesn't show the vertical scrollbar in the editing area. In that case mouse wheel changes the tabs even if the cursor is elsewhere and not on the tabs. It seems the problem is the missing vertical scrollbar (it is not really missing, but it doesn't move). Instead of doing nothing, KDE interprets my scroll-wheel movement and changes the tabs. I don't really know whether it is KDevelop bug or kdelibs bug. I can fill another request if you want.
KTabWidget now ignores wheel events outside the tabbar area.
Is there a way to switch off scrolling tabs with mouse wheel? I find it very annoying.
No.
