I like the list feature/vertical cycler, thx.

Tab cycling is awesome! What's not awesome is that the mouse tab cycler isn't working as expected for ages now when the tab cycler visual is disabled (VB-37067). I would really appreciate it if this bug was looked into.

I would use the Tab Cycling with the mouse if it could be done with LMB+Scrollwheel.
Using RMB+Scrollwheel is too cack-handed for me as it requires me to change my finger positioning. Holding down the LMB is much easier than holding down the RMB as the index finger does most of the work in normal use.
Unicycling with just the scrollwheel on the tabs is easy.

That's strange. I feel exactly the opposite should normally hold true. In normal use don't you use the index finger for scrolling the mouse wheel? Holding the left mouse button would require using the middle finger for scrolling which would feel completely unnatural. But if you are using a weird 3-finger setup for using the 3 main mouse buttons, then I can understand where you are coming from.

@mtaki14 I don't think it weird at all to use the index finger for the LMB and the middle finger for the MMB with the ring finger on the RMB. Any other arrangement requires constant changing of the fingers for clicking or scrolling.
-
@pesala: Except moving your middle finger moves automatically (anatomically) your ring finger at the same time. So mis-right click might happen more often.
-
@cqoicebordel: He's using 3 fingers so no moving would be required.
-
@mtaki14: Not horizontally, but "vertically" : when you flex your middle finger (for example, when you use the wheel with it), your ring finger will flex a little (because both fingers use attached tendons). So scrolling with middle finger might click on the right button in the same movement.
-
@cqoicebordel No. It never happens. The ring finger does not move when I scroll with the middle finger.
However, because the RMB is hard to hold down firmly with the weaker ring finger, if I do try to cycle tabs with the mouse I have to move my fingers to hold RMB with middle finger and scroll with the overused index finger (more RSI).

Have to keep tabs on open tabs.

Maybe those who downvoted my post would care to explain what is incorrect about my statement?
As I said earlier, I find RMB+Scrollwheel cack-handed (clumsy and awkward), so I don't use the mouse for cycling tabs (unless I am testing a reported bug). My preference is to use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
Anyone care to explain how one can use the Index finger for scrolling, while using the middle-finger to hold the RMB, without having to change fingering for normal use?
-
Sigh… If only there was an option to separately enable (or disable) RMB+scroll tab switching and scroll-over-tab switching…
-
@pesala: I'm personally fine with changing finger position for scrolling, since it's what I've done since forever it feels natural to me. As long as it works for you I don't see an issue. Saying that, I can't understand the reasoning behind the downvotes either.

"mouse gesture"
I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to point out a feature that is currently broken. VB-44127 https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/31609/vivaldi-2-1-launches-with-improved-quick-commands/86

@andrewz1986 I'm not sure i understand your point, but maybe there's some subtle context i'm missing. All i can say is that I continue to use a plethora of MGs all day, every day. They're an established part of my workflow, & at least for me, they're reliable [notwithstanding a temporary scare this morning which i now know was not actually the MGs' fault].

@andrewz1986: Your bug report refers to the tab cycler using RMB + Scroll, not mouse gestures. The mouse gesture mentioned in the article refers to this

Someone who uses words like this and likes the colour purple and watches DW is someone I want to hang with.
