Manjaro (Linux) mousewheel zoom possible?

[Dsbbw2020]

Hallo,

I'm trying to set the mousewheel to zoom the image. In the window: configure input controller, main mouse wheel I added at the event ScrollUp and ScrollDown the actions: view-zoom-in and view-zoom-out.

Zooming is still not functioning. Also with ScrollUp(Ctrl) and ScrollDown(Ctrl) it doesn't function.

May be it depends on the Manjaro release? (Window Manager Tweaks?)

Can somebody help?

Manjaro XFCE 20.1, GIMP 2.10.20 (from repository)

Many Thanks.

I think the plain mouse-wheel events are irremediably wired to scroll up/down the canvas. But AFAIK Ctrl-mousewheel is also irremediably wired to zoom in/out like in most other apps I use...

What are the current contents of the controllerrc file in your Gimp profile?

Thanks for thinking. The file has the following content:

In the "Main mouse wheel" section, if you change (debug-events no) into (debug-events yes), and then start Gimp in a terminal, you should have an inking of what is going on:

Code:

Received 'Mouse Wheel Events' (class 'Mouse Wheel')
   controller event 'scroll-down-control (Scroll Down (Ctrl))'
   (trigger event)
   doesn't map to action

Received 'Mouse Wheel Events' (class 'Mouse Wheel')
   controller event 'scroll-up-shift-control (Scroll Up (Shift+Ctrl))'
   (trigger event)
   maps to action 'tools-paint-brush-size-increase-skip'
   action was found

Above is for my settings of course, your output would be different.

It may be something with Manjaro, because it definitely works for me in Mint 19

Maybe backup your file and replacing mine just as a test.  It certainly works for me
   

It is one of the first things I make sure works.  I love the zoom/scroll like Krita.

I followed your advice. I don't see any events. It seems just as if the mouse is not there.

BTW  I saw that none of the functions attached to the mousewheel  are working.

I compared the text in the file and they look very comparable. Nonetheless I copied your file in the .config/GIMP/ dir. Start GIMP and again nothing works.

(see above: the other functions of the mousewheel also don't work)

Does your mousewheel work ok with XEV? Btw, what make/model is your mouse? Some are funky devices that only work properly with a driver (wmuch of course only exists for Windows).

On xev everything seems OK: clear actions when I roll the wheel up or Down:
