Scroll Wrap Around in Scroll Switches Active Tab #49

Open crudebuster opened 8 months ago

crudebuster commented 8 months ago

I've been using Thorium since Waterfox Classic stopped breathing and I'm very satisfied until now, finding most of my functionalities are reachable through flags and compatible extensions but I personally miss a simple thing I used to have in my old browser, using the scroll wheel to switch tabs and when it hit say, last rightmost tab it would then wrap around if i tried to scroll right again, same thing on the left, giving it a mental image of a tab carousel.

The extension that did it in my old firefox then waterfox classic was https://github.com/mthamil/Tab-Wheel-Scroll and I was surprised that Thorium had it on the experimental flags so I thought I would ask if it was possible to implement this functionality, if it wouldn't cause much trouble to code.

@crudebuster Thorium does have the scroll tabs flag, but you are right, it doesn't wrap back around when you reach the end of the tabstrip. I'm not sure how to make that happen. Perhaps you could find an extension for it. Another solution is to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + 1 and Ctrl + 9 to select the first or last tabs, respectively.

I think I'll have to learn to code to make that happen because honestly nobody cares for that feature since Chrome and Firefox capped it and Waterfox Classic is ded...
