Linux apps & scrollwheel support?


Konqueror -does- have scrollwheel support, if say you spin the middle wheel up or down.

It doesn't seem to support what I call "scroll toggling" like in Windows. In windows if you press down (click) on the center wheel button you can then scroll by sliding the mouse up and down. When you release the middle scrollwheel button the toggle disappears.

This is something I -have- to have as it gets painful after a while having to bend your index finger while surfing.

It seems galeon supports middle scroll wheel toggling, but not konqueror. Is it possible?

Also hitting CTRL-W in konqueror does not close the current browsing window. Another thing Firefox in windows maintained as a standard. (Also, yet another thing that Galeon maintains too)

Any idea how to accomplish tha in konq too?

Cheers,
Jon

For me at least, in Konqueror, I can go to Settings->Configure Shortcuts. In there, you can specify keyboard shortcut for basically everything, including closing the window. Alternately, you could fire up the KDE control center and bind "ctrl+w" to "close window", but that is global accross all KDE apps, which you may or may not want.

It may be helpful to know that X sees scrolling the wheel up and down as buttons 4 and 5. I don't know if Konquerer sees it as such personally, since I am currently booted into Windows (hey, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.).
