Hi,

There are several places in KDE where mouse wheel cycling causes certain events:

* On the desktop to move among virtual desktops
* The virtual desktop pager widget to move among desktops
* The task bar to move among open apps
* Konsole tab bar to move among open tabs
* Konqueror/Dolphin to move among open tabs

There might be more places, but of the previous list, I have found only one place where I can disable that behavior: desktop cycling. For myself I can "tolerate" the cycling in konsole, konqueror, and dolphin, but I'd like to disable cycling in the task bar. Is there a way to disable cycling?

If not then perhaps this thread should be moved to brainstorming?

I believe this is more than just a convenience issue. This is also an accessibility issue. Unintended/accidental cycling is disruptive to work flow and concentration.

BTW, I checked and none of the Input Device mouse settings affect cycling, so that is not a work-around.

Thanks.

there is a option like that but in Icon-tasks.

I'm not following --- where do I find those options?

Thanks.

Sorry. Not icon tasks but smooth tasks. I confused this two plasmoids.

Compile smooth tasks from there https://bitbucket.org/flupp/smooth-tasks-fork and add the panel to panel.

Smooth tasks is quite configurable. I'm sure you can figure out from there.

Thanks, but that is not the approach I'm seeking. There are several places where mouse wheel cycling affects usability. Like many options, some people like the cycling and some don't. Users should decide. A simple check box would suffice in each of the affected areas.

Well, I would be glad to see more global configuration options for all apps like tabs behavior (middle mouse button close tab/detach tab) but this would need additional lib and there is no way all application would use it so i'm afraid there is no way to get this right.
