Comment (by humdinger):
In my opinion, we should change the Haiku behaviour wrt mouswheeling.
Currently CMD (or CTRL or OPT) plus wheel will scroll page-wise. If you
look at other features, you'll see that normally SHIFT is used to execute
slightly altered behaviour of one feature. E.g. holding SHIFT while right-
clicking a file will offer "Force identify" (instead of "Identify"),
"Create relative link" (instead of "Create link"). Or in the menus of a
Tracker window: "Cut/Copy more" (instead of "Cut/Copy"), "Paste link"
(instead of "Paste") or "Clean up all" (instead of "Clean up"). The
mail_daemon, too, has slightly altered menu items when SHIFT is held.
So, my vote is for changing mousewheel behaviour in the same way, i.e.
SHIFT+mousewheel should do page-wise scrolling, because it's just a slight
mutation of the standard behaviour without the modifier key.[[BR]]
This would leave the other modifiers like CMD, CTRL and OPT as behaviour
changing keys for e.g. zooming, or moving through the open tabs.
