Re-enable Workspace Scrolling Using Your Mouse Scrollwheel

By , Published November 18, 2009

Annoyed that in Karmic you can no-longer switch between desktops using your mouse wheel? De-annoy yourself thanks to this easy fix.

  1. Open up CompizConfigSettingsManager
  2. Go to ‘Viewport Switcher’
  3. Choose the ‘Desktop-based Viewport Switching’ tab
  4. Enable ‘Move Next’ 
  5. Set it to ‘Button 5′
  6. Enable ‘Move Prev’
  7. Set it to ‘Button 4′

You can now scroll through your workspaces with your mouse wheel again.

    Hi,

    great brief howto. The only thing I’d add (for those hwo don’t know):

    Now let’s start the settings manager via System → Preferences → Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.
    Or simply type in the terminal (or [Alt]+[F2]): ccsm
