The Commentary in mwheel.el says: ;; I for one would prefer some way of converting the button4/button5 ;; events into different event types, like 'mwheel-up' or ;; 'mwheel-down', but I cannot find a way to do this very easily (or ;; portably), so for now I just live with it. Is it what you mean? > There is nothing sacred about window scrolling - a mouse wheel can do > lots more interesting things in Emacs than scroll a window. Yes, they are not just about scrolling. For instance, in Gimp/Chrome C-mwheel zooms in/out (like `C-x C-+' `C-x C--' `text-scale-adjust' in Emacs).
