imwheelrc configurations

[sKunk]

I have just installed imwheel into my SuSe 7.1 distro. It works which is a relief but the wheel currently scrolls a page at a time, sucky sucky.

Despite reading the documentation and lookingon the web I have no idea what the contents of the imwheelrc file mean.

Can anyone explain the contents of the file? I understand it's broken into apps, but what the hell do all those key presses mean? Failing that could someone could post their config where the wheel scrolls the page a few lines at a time?

Thanks :D

I have searched the forums for any info on imwheelrc config but no joy. Lots of questions and answers about XF86Config but not much on imwheelrc.

If anyone with a config that allows Netscape to scroll a few lines at a time could post their inwheelrc settings I'd appreciate it :)

This entry in Xresources (Xdefaults on some distributions) works on my Debian 2.2 system:

You might want to look at the lines Ctrl<Btn4Down> et al where you can adjust the amount of lines (or even pages) you want to scroll at a time.

Thanks for that :)

Does anyone know whether I should be adjusting the Xdefaults or imwheelrc file? Does the imwheel process look at the Xdefaults file or is there another method of scroll bar control I should be using instead of imwheel?

I'm using SuSe 7.1 with kernel 2.4, Xfree86 4.0.2 and KDE 2.0.1

So many questions, but I'm learning ;)

I am using imwheel (Intellimouse Explorer) with SuSE 7.1 with Netscape6. However when I scroll it's 3 lines at a time.

I have noticed in Netscape 6 that under Edit-Preferences-Advanced there is a spot where you can adjust your mousewheel.

Not sure if that helps. But it's something to look into.

I heard that netscape 6 was a buggy pile of poo. I'm using 4.76.

How do you get on with v6?

I'm using the default imwheelrc from the author's website, and after reading DrDebians post, I tried the shift+mwheelup and +mwheeldown, and it scrolls a few lines at a time. Personally, I preferr the whole screen. I'd be even happier if the wheel would work in Q2.

[sKunk]

This is what I have in my imwheelrc file.


"Navigator"
Shift_L, Down, Down, 7, 1000, 1000
Shift_L, Up, Up, 7, 1000, 1000



What does that mean? It makes no sense to me at all.
