Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Just ran across a nifty trick for firefox, and wanted to get it on the |
4 |
list, as well as searched by search engines. Hope this is useful. |
5 |
|
6 |
I enabled my mouse wheels left-right functionality, however, it was |
7 |
reversed to xorg. So I flipped it in xorgs config. |
8 |
|
9 |
Seamonkey got it right somehow, left-tilt of the wheel meant back in |
10 |
history, right-tilt meant forward in history. |
11 |
|
12 |
Firefox, however, needed some help. First off, firefox is set to scroll |
13 |
left/right on a page (such as an image/page larger than your screen) by |
14 |
default, which is what you'd expect. |
15 |
|
16 |
But how often do you need to do that? Myself, not often. To get firefox |
17 |
to use the tilt as back/forward (left/right respectively) to do history |
18 |
like seamonkey, you have to dive into about:config , but it's very easy. |
19 |
The changes take effect immediately, no restarting needed. |
20 |
|
21 |
Change the following values like so: |
22 |
|
23 |
1) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action int 2 |
24 |
|
25 |
If you find that left takes you forward in history, and right takes you |
26 |
backwards in history, reverse the action. This is likely if you had to |
27 |
reverse the behavior in xorg. Set these two as shown: |
28 |
|
29 |
2) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines int -1 |
30 |
3) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines bool false |
