According to this table http://texturizer.net/phoenix/mouse.html IE and Opera
use Shift+Scroll Down/Up for Back. Phoenic uses Alt+Scroll Down/Up. Makes sense
to be with the rest.



Reproducible: Always

Personally, I would say Alt is more appropriate than Shift since Alt is also
used with the arrow keys to act like Back and Forward shortcuts. However, this
is a valid rfe, so I'm confirming it.

For me, this is WONTFIX, since shift+scroll is already bound to a shortcut, and
I see no reason of changing it.

Comment 3

[Pham]

I know that shift+scroll is already a shortcut, but the reason I'm filing this
is so that Phoenix can be IE'ish.

Some shortcuts like ctrl+v=paste don't make sense, but they're standard and I
like standard.

Is there a reason why shift+scroll=scroll 1 line?

Is that an OS thing?

Comment 5

[Blake Ross]

I understand David's point but I agree that we should change this.  Our
incompatibility with IE and Opera sticks out like a sore thumb, especially
considering we match ctrl+scroll.  I've just changed it so alt+scroll scrolls
one line at a time (I can't even find an app that offers this), and shift+scroll
goes through session history.

Fixed.
