In Easystroke I have a guesture like this:

38 0 10 Gesture 14 5
39
40 1 1 10
41 0 1 5 0 0 32768 14
42
43 0 65366 0 21 3+wheeldown=page down 5
44
45 1 1 10
46 0 1 1 0 0 32768 14
47
48 67108864 65289 0 3 3+1 5
49
50 1 1 10
51 0 1 2 0 0 32768 14

Which if I hold right_click and use the mouse wheel, it'll send page_up and page_down events. I can not find anyway to replicate this behavior in mouse-actions.

I already have a feature request in place to allow mouse buttons to be used as modifiers, which is what's required to make this possible.

For me it's holding right click and sending on wheel events ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab (so I can scroll through tabs with the mouse wheel.)

When mouse buttons can be used as modifiers, then we can use the rightclick as the modifier and the scroll wheel to send out commands using the 'click' gesture type. Edit: you can test this theory easily by setting up a click/press/release gesture and using a keyboard key as a modifier :)
