Feature Request: Scrolling with mouse scrolls between tabs. #169

Open FearlessPotatoKing opened 7 years ago

FearlessPotatoKing commented 7 years ago

This is a fantastic addon that is very lightweight and easy to use. The only feature I really miss from the other sideways tabs addons is the option to hover your mouse over the tab barand when you scroll with the mouse up or down, it scrolls between the tabs. This makes navigating between tabs a lot quicker and less work compared to moving your mouse to each individual tab and then clicking on it.

How hard would this be to implement?

A suggestion: make it so that holding shift + mousewheel changes tabs, as what you're requesting would be impossible in webextensions. I'm pretty sure anywho.

FearlessPotatoKing commented 7 years ago

I want my tabs to change only when the mouse is over the sidebar/tab menu on the side. If it is anywhere other than the sidebar, it will do the normal function that the webpage calls it to do.

I understand what you're asking for, I'm just not certain that would work with we extensions, so, I was providing an alternative suggestion that might, and would also be convenient.

IF this is replacement for "Tab Mix Plus" then it simply has to have this option. I cant imagine browsing in 21.st century without mouse-scrolling through tabs. Please make this available.

Hi, may I suggest to take a look at this add-on? It adds this "scroll to change tab" function to Tree Style Tab so I think something similar may be possible to implement. The codes are on github here as well. Thank you.

This might help.
