image viewer: mouse wheel to move back and forward

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2573 / 3 Years ago, tue, october 26, 2021, 3:33:00

In the gnome image viewer (3.2.0), I would like to change these shortcuts for next/prev image to use the mousewheel. I would also like to change it in shotwell if possible. Current the mousewheel is assigned to zoom in/out on the current image, which I almost never need.

I've tried setting on desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels in gconf-editor but no luck.

I have found where I think I should edit, in ~/.config/eog/accels, there are lines like

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActionsGallery/GoPrevious" "<Alt>Left")

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActionsGallery/GoNext" "<Alt>Right")

Which I guess I should uncomment (remove semicolon) and assign to something else, but what could be the accel for mouse wheel events?

I dumped eog, instead using gthumb . The mousewheel has, by default, the sensible behaviour I was trying to get eog/shotwell to use, and as an added bonus it is seemingly much faster at rendering images too.
