[opensuse] KDE - cool newbie trick
I just happened to have my mouse hovering over the task bar and started rolling the thumb wheel. My various windows started popping into the foreground. Pretty cool. (And yes I'm a KDE newbie, so this has probably been true for years.)

Just to give fair kudos to the other environment. :-) Gnome does this too. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

you can do similar in konqueror browser mode with several tabs open. Place the mouse pointer over one of the tabs and roll the mouse wheel :^) - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHGO2JClSjbQz1U5oRAqugAJ9DOSTSRSdIbng+ZAaI0s3SLo3jTQCgkiTO UPpEXqRiIwJXcKq4tD7dd6E= =Mcn4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Works in most apps with tabs as well. Just hover over the Firefox tab bar and try it. Actually, I hate this behaviour and would love to disable it (both from KDE and also from firefox). Anybody know how?

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Unfortunately, you can't disable it for KDE (without recompiling Qt with QT_NO_WHEELEVENT). I haven't looked inside the firefox source code - there be dragons.

Go to the Firefox configuration screen ("about:config") and enter "wheel" into the filter field. There are quite a few wheel-related events ('cause of all the modifier combinations that can be separately configured). You'll have to do a little searching to see what the available actions and their codes are, but it gives you quite a bit of flexibility. But as I think about it, these options may apply only to the behavior when the mouse pointer is over a page display area and not to control areas such as the tabs. However, my 10.3's (recently updated) Firefox, the scroll wheel has no effect over the tab bar. This may be because I have Tab Mix Plus installed.
