[Feature request] Scroll tabs with mouse wheel

[KParthSingh]

In Sublime Text, there’s a feature that’s very useful. When you have multiple tabs open, you can switch from one tab to another by simply placing the cursor over the tab area and scrolling the mouse wheel up and down. This allows you to quickly glance at the content of each tab without having to click on each tab one by one. It's a deal breaker for me I use it every time on edge with Windhawk script.

This is an useful feature, I used to have this enabled with Sidebery.

[KParthSingh]

Thanks. I think it would be nice if they inbuilt it.

As @cswimr has pointed out it's already in zen browser. so you don't have to use any third-party tool.

FYI, this is already possible through a browser preference, see Zen Browser FAQ - How to switch tabs by scrolling.

You can enable this feature by changing a setting in the browser’s configuration. Here’s how:

1. Open the about:config page. This page contains advanced settings for the browser.
2. Search for toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling
3. Toggle the setting to true by double-clicking on it

Once this setting is enabled, you can hover your mouse over the tab bar and use your mouse wheel to scroll through the tabs, making it easier to navigate between them.

OH. Didn't knew it already exist. thanks pal.

[Axenide]

Wow, thanks!

[KParthSingh]

I was wondering why this is behind a flag? why don't you just add a toggle in settings?

How about tab scrolling without it having to be within the tab area? By using a set of modifier keys and then scrolling. Would be far faster and less error prone for those who keep the tab area closed and don't have it up against the edge of their desktop which stops the mouse movement.

It would be nice if it worked with shortcuts like scroll + (shift + alt / shift + ctrl) or something to swap positions of tabs like in firefox
