K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Hello,
I recently switched to K-Meleon from Firefox and am enjoying it so far.
The only feature I am missing is the ability to use my mouse's scroll wheel to switch layers. This exists in Firefox (at least with the TBE extension) and I find it the fastest way to navigate from a layer to another: just put your pointer above the layer toolbar, and use the wheel.
I guess this would be possible with the mouse gestures and / or macro of K-Meleon but, since I am not a programmer, I have no idea how to do it.
Any help would be welcome.
Nicolas
I don't believe scrollwheels are possible with KM, but you can mimick Opera's behavior:
Tools --> Advanced Prefs --> Accels
Find this:
%ifplugin layers
CTRL VK_TAB = layers(Next)
CTRL SHIFT VK_TAB = layers(Prev)
Replace with:
%ifplugin layers
2 = layers(Next)
1 = layers(Prev)
(Close KM for changes to take effect)
Note: Now you can't type the numbers 1 or 2 in searches or textboxes using 1 and 2 below the F buttons, though for me using the right side of the keyboard doesn't switch tabs.
Note #2: You can replace 1 or 2 it with any other button or combo, but beware that KM might not work if there are conflicts (ie, one keyboard shortcut is defined to two different functions.)
I guess this would be possible with the mouse gestures and / or macro of K-Meleon but, since I am not a programmer, I have no idea how to do it. Any help would be welcome.
There's no way to spin the wheel and move between layers. But by default an upward slanted left gesture [/b] moves to the previous layer and an upward slanted right gesture / moves to the next layer. In KM, those 2 gestures are the equivalent of upleft and upright which also have the same result.
Well I'll be! Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the hint jsnj! I occasionally have a couple of "tabs" opened and I think I've got my hands so they'll jerk in the right way now. LOL! Sure beats having to move up there and clicking on the sun'o'gun!
Thanks again!
