How to discriminate vertical from horizontal scroll on Kubuntu/KDE mouse action for switch Desktop

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – Currently trying out KDE, and I'm a big user of multiple workspaces/desktops while I work. I've noticed that essentially, KDE isn't able (or doesn't bother?) to tell between my mouse's standard vertical scroll, and the left/right scroll that it has. Just FYI, my mouse has a pretty sensitive scroll wheel with no discernible "clicks" so I can easily make my desktop look like it's on crack. Here's what I'd like: vertical scroll does nothing when applied on desktop, but left/right scroll causes me to switch to previous/next desktop. Here's what happens now - per settings for Desktop Settings (HowTos)

F17 in VirtualPC 38 weeks 2 days ago

Has anyone installed Fedora in VirtualPC and had the scroll wheel on their mouse work? I managed to install 32-bit F17 as a guest OS in VirtualPC under 64-bit Windows 7 on my PC at work, and everything works surprisingly well except for the mouse. The left and right buttons work fine.

I don't know if this functionality just isn't working right or if I just can't figure it out. Under Desktop Activity Setting > Mouse Actions, I can't make heads or tails of how to change the mouse behavior for plasma.

The default for vertical scroll is switch desktops. How do you get it to zoom in and out?

I started using linux mint 13 mate yesterday. Although the words from their site is promising, I found it lack some ways for configuration.

For example, I want to enlarge the scroll bar so that I can easily locate it ( I am using a trackball which doesn't come with a scroll wheel, so I need to drag the scroll bar in windows ).

I'm using a Logitech K750(keyboard) and M705(mouse) using the same (one!) unifying USB connector. I paired them with my mac, but use them on my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04.1. Works nice. Just a few adjustments I'd like to do.

Short Question

Is there a way to adjust the mouse wheel scroll sensitivity in Fedora 18?

Long Question

I'm running Fedora 18, with the standard Gnome desktop. I use a Logitech M705 mouse with the free-scrolling mouse wheel, which I love. In windows, I'm able to configure how many lines to scroll per notch of the mouse wheel.

I want to set up cinnamon to switch workspaces right and left when I press my mouse scroll wheel clicker right or left, but I don't see an option in the cinnamon settings. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Hello all benevolent people,

As far as I'm concerned there is no such a thread.

I've got very nice ubuntu 12.04. Working smoothly as for now, with occasional bugs. But I've got this wheel problem which recently focus my concentration more and more: whenever I scroll down/up on screen it goes as there was no rule for it down/up/down and up/up and down.

Suppose I have some large datafile, which overflow the screen in both vertical and horizontal direction. How can I browse this file, while the header-lines stay on the screen?

For the moment, I am using less -S, so that I can nicely scroll my file horizontally and vertically. However, when scrolling down, the header lines obviously disappear.
