Bug ID: 394341
Summary: Request: Swap Values for Clip Jumping via Mouse Wheel
Product: kdenlive
Version: 18.04.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: m...@michaeltunnell.com
Target Milestone: ---
I think the method of scrolling through the timeline should be modified to feel
more natural.
Zooming and Normal scrolling feels fine but when using the mousewheel to jump
to the ends of clips, it's cumbersome and confusing even when doing it for a
very long time.
I am referring to the function of Alt+Mousewheel (up and down) which works in
the opposite configuration of normal timeline scrolling.
When moving through the timeline with the mousewheel (no modifier), mousewheel
up makes the timeline move to the left and mousewheel down moves to the right.
This feels natural.
However, when using Alt+Mousewheel to jump to the start and end of clips, the
directions are flipped so when you Alt+Mousewheel Up it moves to the right.
I have been using Kdenlive for a very long time and I have never been able to
get used to this because it breaks the natural flow of what is expected, even
when knowing what will happen.
My suggestion is to swap the Alt+Mousewheel to use the directions that normal
mousewheel uses.
-----
TL:DR
Mousewheel Up = moves timeline to the left
Mousewheel Down = moves timeline to the right
Alt+Mousewheel Up = moves playhead to the right direction
Alt+Mousewheel Down = moves playhead to the left direction
Please switch the Alt+Mousehweel actions to work in conjunction with the
directions that the normal mousewheel action uses.
