What I really miss since I use KDE is zooming with meta+mousewheele because its not possible to use the mousewheele in shortcuts/hotkeys.

Is there a general problem with this or does just nobody uses the mousewheele in shortcuts?

Ctrl+Mousewheel zooms in/out pretty well for me. Or am I missing something here?

I think murray means zooming the whole screen in and out with kwin compositing. It has been mentioned more generally in the following threads:

[Global-Shortcuts] assign mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts
[Khotkeys] Plugin-based shorcut system (keyboard, mouse, lirc, joysticks, etc.)
[DUPLICATE] Combine Mouse Actions with Keyboard Shortcuts
[DUPLICATE] Associate effects (or execute stuff in general) to mouse buttons

And other specific situations in these threads:
[General] Make the back/forward buttons on a mouse useful
[KWin] Window Maximise/Restore with modifier key + mouse click

Oh....havent found these threads by only searching for mousewheele.

Do you think this is a duplicate?

Depends on what you want. If you want to use the mouse wheel in (keyboard) shortcuts, it would be a Duplicate yes.

On the other hand, ctrl-mousewheel already works as zooming in many KDE applications. In that case, it would be Already Implemented.

Mousewheele in keyboard shortcuts, like the title says...

Marked as Duplicate of assign mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts.
