Mouse wheel usability

Is rubbish. Cmon abode, its not rocket science. Or maybe I'm doing wrong -
Is there any other way to scroll audio and video layers other than with the scrollbar? If not here are some no brainer suggestions:
existing: scroll along timeline with mouse wheel. If you're at all zoomed in its far too slow, so
How about clicking on the mouse wheel and dragging left or right (like doing the same horizontally on a webpage) for quick timeline scrolling?
Modifiers are your friend:
Shift scroll to actually scroll up and down layers (I would use this massively more than moving along timeline).
ad ctrl to the mix so that it speeds up scrolling or zooming:
ctrl-scroll 5 times as much movement along timeline
ctrl-alt-scroll 5 times as much zooming.
probably dont need ctrl-shift unless you have 30 layers, but should include it for consistency
Coming from photoshop I love modifiers, they speed up workflow massively. They allow you to stay focussed on what you're working on without taking your eye or mouse away to pallettes or scroll bars. And there is another point. Many people use lots of adobe applications. They need to sit down with all the development teams and standardise some of these things.
Like finding an asset in explorer. I do this a lot in bridge, dreamweaver, indesign, lightroom and I have to look for, to name a few
Explore
Reveal in explorer
Show in explorer...
You might say these are little things, get over it. I'd say these are little things, fix it.

I'm sorry, we categorically refute your suggestions if you spell our name wrong.
All kidding aside, I like the mouse wheel down (or middle button) acting as a hand scroll mode. BTW, just in case, if you didn't know already, alt + mouse wheel performs zoom in/out around the cursor's position. (I personally wish this was the default, and the scroll horizontal/vertical was the alt option, but that's just me.)
Whatever you do, please make sure that you submit these here.
Cheers

Decrease distance scrolled per mouse wheel notch (Desktop)

As of yesterday's 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd update, one scroll wheel notch scrolls much longer than it used to do. Before it scrolled the distance it was supposed to, as defined by the vertical Scrolling setting in Control Panel->Mouse. In the update, it scrolls four times that. If set to 3 lines, it should scroll 100 pixels, which it does in all other applications. In the new update, it scrolls 400 pixels [when set to 3 lines per scroll wheel notch]. This causes you to lose control almost immediately when scrolling through lists. On a 1080p display, it scrolls almost half the list height per notch (880 pixels). This means that you get a completely different view every two scroll wheel notches. Skimming through lists becomes almost impossible. As for me, this reduces the usability of Spotify quite dramatically. I have dozens of playlist, some with hundreds or thousands of songs. Now I have no good way of scrolling slow. The mouse wheel obviously doesn't work, and the scroll bar is so small in select playlists [because there are so many songs], that it required very minute and accurate movements in order to have control. Temporary fix:Use the mouse wheel button to scroll slowly. Just click it once and move the mouse a little down [or up] to initiate auto scrolling. Be aware that if you do this while the mouse hovers over a link (artist name or album name), nothing happens. In a browser, this would open a new tab with that link, but as Spotify doesn't have tabs (new idea?), nothing happens. Doing this also selects the track you hover over when initiating auto scroll (same as ctrl-clicking songs), but this doesn't matter as when you double click a song to play it, all other songs are deselected. [EDIT 15.03.15] Rewrote the entire post, as I realized my first version may have led to misunderstanding of what I wanted to carry forward. This case should be looked at as a bug. Thanks,Truls Bekk

I looked around everywhere for solutions to these things.This is my first post, but, try installing this mouse program called "KatMouse"It changes around the scrolling a little bit so you might have to make some adjustments, but, just keep it running. It works!It's also a really nice program. This should be a temporary solution until this is fixed ..If it doesn't work for you then just uninstall it and restart the computer.I'm on Windows 7 64bit desktop computer with Logitech M525 wireless mouse and Logitech SetPoint software and it completely fixed this problem for me.I won't post the link to the actual KatMouse site, just search for it with Google or whatever search thing you use. It's icon is a little cat when you install it. This was bugging the crap out of me too, as well, so I hope this works for you guys, too. EDIT: Also, after you install KatMouse, you have to leave it running for it to work (it'll just run in your taskbar). It won't slow down your computer (a very small program). It just runs in bewteen your mouse and the scrollbars (technically speaking).

How to fire mouse wheel events to parent container?

Hi,
When I create a JPanel (let's say jParent) inside a JScrollPane and this JPanel is larger than the current viewport I can use my mouse wheel to scroll the JPanel's containt without coding anything about that.
But if I add another JPanel-derived component (let's say jChild) to the first JPanel, mouse wheel events are not received by the first JPanel when the mouse is over the new added child JPanel.
How can I forward child's mouse wheel events to the first JPanel?
If I use:
jChild.addMouseWheelListener(jParent)I must implement a mouseWheelMoved() method in jParent that requires some code to work while it was doing it byitself before...
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Regards,
Lara.

you have a mouseWheelListener added to jChild?
if so, in the mouseWheelMoved code include this line
jParent.dispatchEvent(mouseWheelEvent);//or to the scrollpane

How to use Mouse Wheel Events

Hello Everyone
I am using Datagrid in my Canvas.

So Now my requirement is to control the delta value of mouse
wheel event and how to use that with my datagrid so that i will
able to scroll one row through mouse wheel scroller.
Thanks

please give me some suggestion around it.
I want to scroll one row of datagrid with per mousewheel

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

How to remap mouse wheel in single application?

Hello,
I want to achieve simple thing - control audio in Smplayer using mouse wheel. The tricky part is that I need to control the master volume on my AV receiver because the audio in videos is played as bitstream (DTS/AC3 over SPDIF). I'm able to modify the mouse wheel actions in mplayer but unfortunatelly Smplayer doesn't allow such remapping: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forum/v … f=2&t=6077
I already use xbindkeys with xvkbd for application specific remapping of both keyboard and mouse. I can remap the wheel for Smplayer window but I'm unable to figure out how to make sure the wheel will work for other applications as well - I'm just unable to simulate mouse wheel action for applications other than Smplayer. (Or is there any other way how to not modify the button for other applications?)
If I try only simulating the wheel, it doesn't work...
# .xbindkeysrc
"xdotool click 4"
m:0x0 + b:4
# or
"xvkbd -text "\m4""
m:0x0 + b:4
However if I add "sleep 0.2" before xvkbd or xdotool, it works (but this is unacceptable delay for me). Also if I try to simulate wheel on keyboard press, it works even without the sleep.
Any help or suggestion?

not really.. sorry

SWF in iFrame - How to get mouse wheel to work

I have been searching for a solution to this for a few days
without any luck. I was hoping someone here may have come across
this problem and know of a solution, or know if it just is not
possible.
I have a static page which consists of an iframe, picture and
a div with some links. The image is an image map and set to load
all links within the iframe. The flash itself is a 360 degree
panoramic view with hotspots (links) within the file that also
point to other pages. My issue is that the mouse wheel scroll is
supposed to be a zoom in/out feature, which work with the flash
file and full screen view. However, when the file is loaded within
the iframe, the scroll wheel on the mouse will only scroll the page
and will not interact with the flash file at all.
The problem seems to be with the following browsers (PC):
Chrome 0.4
Opera 9.5
Firefox 3.0
The zoom works in IE6, although the page does scroll with it.
When I disabled the page from scrolling (see index2.html) the zoom
stops working. This is probably due to the code used to disable the
mouse. I really need to try to get the mouse wheel to zoom in
FireFox 3 though. The large majority of our visitors are PC users
with FireFox 3 or IE 7, so these are the two most important
browsers to have working.
The pages are still currently under development but examples
are online here:
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index.html
-Normal page
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index2.html
-Page with scrolling disabled
Does anyone have any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks
for taking the time to help.

As far as I know,there is no facility for detecting mouse scrolling wheel in JDK 1.3.
Check it in the later releases of JDK.

Is there a way to change my mouse wheel's funtion so it will scroll with out

I'm stuck in habit that's hard to get out of. I started editing in Vegas then moved to Premiere CS3.
I never use the mouse wheel to scroll frames. I wish it could just zoom in and out of the timeline like it did in Vegas without me having to push alt-scroll wheel.
I'm might be asking for a lot but is this possible? I just can't break my habit of using just the arrow keys when I want to scroll frame to frame. Even though the alt-scroll has 'clicked' in my brain there's that 10% hesitation. That I know would make me more comfortable.
Call me weird but is there a solution?

Josh
Place the cursor over the Source or the Program Monitor and use the scroll wheel to scroll frames.
(Your post is not that clear whether you want to scroll frames or zoom the timeline as you mention both)

Pressing mouse wheel (or Ctrl + Left Mouse Click) on navigation arrows does not open previous/next page in new tab anymore

I am using the new Firefox Developer Edition as a stand-alone on Ubuntu, so I can still use the "old" version, too.
Everything seems to be working fine, as in I am logged in and setup sync. But a few features I got very much used to are no longer working.
When I click on "About Firefox Developer Edition", it shows these details:
Firefox Developer Edition 36.0a2 (2014-12-09)
Firefox Developer Edition is up to date
You are currently on the aurora update channel.
In my "old" Firefox, I can:
1. Click with the mouse wheel on the navigation arrows to open the previous or next page in a new tab.
2. "right mouse click" on the navigation arrows to see the list of previously visited pages of the current tab, and the ones I visited after the page I am on, if I clicked "back" once or more times. I can then click the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Button" to open any of the pages in the list in a new tab.
None of this works in the Developer Edition.

To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

All-in-One Qosmio PX30t - Mouse wheel application interruptions

hello there ...
for some reason my mouse wheel has been configured to switch to the start page (tiles).
I find this convenient while operating the desktop activities but during other applications its a bit irritating. Here are examples of what i mean:
1. in google's chrome, i use the wheel extensively to open a new tab. now with 8.1 i cant as the wheel action takes me to start page (tiles)
2. im playing Fable and the block action is set to the mouse wheel (make sense as its the most convenient for such task) but with the defaulted switching behavior .. every time i try to block ..im outta the game to the start page (tiles). I know i could avert this by re-configuring the action to a different button or key, but why not have it as is????
im not sure of these applications to be the only ones as its my first 8.1 use!
thanks.

I'm inclined to agree. At first I thought Toshiba had simply remapped the Middle Mouse Button to bring up the start menu for whatever reason, but from what I can tell the PC actually registers the MMB as the Left Windows Key! Why anyone would think this was a good design idea I have no idea. For me it's just frustrating....
Anyway, I've so far found 2 ways around this:
First; using any other mouse, the MMB functions normally. So you could plug a regular USB or wireless mouse in and presto! Problem solved.
+Of course this is FAR less than ideal. One of the reasons I bought an all in one was for the clean look with matching keyboard and mouse. I don't want to give up a USB port when it already comes with the peripherals built in.+
The second option (The one I'm currently using) is to use key remapping software. I've remapped the Left Window Key to act as the Middle Mouse Button. Now my mouse functions normally.
+The problem with this solution is that the Windows Key on the keyboard now also works like a MMB. I remapped the "drop down menu" key to act as the LWIN key to compensate, but this solution is also far from ideal.+
I think Toshiba should release a firmware (or software??) update that either fixes this issue properly, or at least gives users the option to use the MMB as a MMB.

[SOLVED] Chromium updated to 24.0.1312.52 (175374), no mouse wheel

Just updated Chromium to version 24.0.1312.52 (175374) and the mouse wheel can't scroll anymore, had to install an extension for middle-click to be able to scroll again, anyone else with this problem?

I tried, but this should be labeled as a joke, that gives basically very little difference, they should just look at how Firefox implemented it for a good reference

My mouse wheel is not resizing text like it's supposed to ... how do I fix this?

BACKGROUND: I'm getting tired of warnings in Seamonkey about sites no longer supporting it, and am considering switching to firefox (with the add-ons that keep the Mozilla look and feel, instead of trying to pretend it's M$ IE (which I wouldn't touch with a 100000000 foot pole).
Problem #1: I'm used to my mouse wheel resizing text in a tab,
but for some reason, I can't find the option to enable this in firefox.
How do I configure this to work properly? I seem to recall an add-on that fixes this, but can't find it now.
Problem #2: I had an add-on (back when I first tested firefox), that restored Edit-->Preferences, but it's no longer working. Is there another way to put the Preferences option where I'm used to looking for it?
Thanks,

Flash freezes in Firefox when I scroll the mouse wheel over a drop down list or text field (possibly others as well).

Whenever I scroll in a drop down menu in Flash in Firefox (for example, I move the mouse wheel just one detent), it just continues scrolling on its own all the way to the bottom of the list and freezes all interaction for about 10 seconds. It's really bizarre.
If I start click and dragging things, nothing happens, and then all of the sudden everything catches up and moves. As an experienced programmer, I can say that it looks like some kind of queuing of keyboard/mouse events with delayed execution. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I found something from 2008 that sounds similar, although I am not using the sIFR they mentioned: sIFR mouse wheel scrolling freeze in Firefox - Stack Overflow
Seems to be a Firefox-specific issue, although it also seems to be something that has just recently started occurring since updating Firefox.
UPDATE: I was checking my Firefox version in Help > About Firefox, and it showed version 33, but also had a pending update so I restarted Firefox. The problem was no longer occurring at that point. When I checked the version again, it said 33.0.2, but it also said "applying update", with another pending restart. I restarted Firefox again. It's now stable at version 33.1. So perhaps it was a problem with that particular version, or even a temporary issue with that running browser instance.

Mouse Wheel under Windows XP Does not work- 9.0.3

I use Windows XP and JDeveloper9.02 handled mouse wheel scrolling reasonably well(help files could not be scrolled). I can not use the mouse wheel in the Jdeveloper9.03 editor or the help files. Am I missing something? I thought JDeveloper9.03 added mouse wheel capability as its new release feature.
I know user's of windows 98 had problem with mouse wheel. However, migrating to JDeveloper9.03 seems to have fixed the mouse wheel problem for Windows98 users and made it a problem for WindowsXP users!

I work with Ramin. Both he and I just unzipped JDev903 to a new folder (C:\Program Files\OracleJDeveloper903). There was no mention in the readme file about having to uninstall the prior version, and since it didn't have a Windows installer (the files are merely unzipped), we didn't think that it mattered that another version was on disk. He was running only the 903 version -- the 902 version was simply on the disk just like dozens of other programs are on the disk. I don't believe he rebooted after exiting 902 and unzipping 903, if that matters. So I think what he did was
1) run 902
2) quit 902
3) unzip 903 to new folder
4) run 903 and notice mouse doesn't work
Questions: Do you recommend getting rid of 902 totally off your disk? If not, do you recommend installing it to the same folder or a different folder? What about rebooting in-between running/quitting 902 and running 903?
(FYI: By the way, I unzipped it and then tried to open up one of my existing workspaces. I found I couldn't browse up the the root folder. It said "I/O Error: The dir c:\ is not accessible. Please select a different directory." It had me in the c:\Program Files\OracleJDeveloper903 folder and I wanted to go to c:\My Documents. I couldn't browse there because I needed to pass through the root to get there. The workaround was to type in c:\My Documents into the File field. However I'm using Win98 but I plan on going to Win2000. Perhaps that will fix the root problem. My mouse works now in win98 but I hope I don't lose that functionality when I go to 2000.)
