Modifier Keys Support for Mouse Gestures

[Nuigi]

Description:
Enable the use of modifier keys (e.g., Ctrl, Alt, Shift) in conjunction with mouse gestures to provide more varied and powerful command options.

Background:
Mouse gestures are a unique feature that allow users to execute commands using mouse movements. By allowing modifier keys to be used in tandem with these gestures, the number of potential commands increases significantly. This will provide users with the capability to customize their browsing experience to an even greater extent.

Proposed Functionality:

Modifier Key Detection: When performing a mouse gesture, the browser should detect if a modifier key is being held down.
Configuration Interface: Update the gesture configuration interface to allow users to set gestures with modifier keys easily. For example, a dropdown next to each gesture could let the user select a modifier key.

hello,
vivaldi has the zooming IN function as CTRL + mousewheel scrolled UP.

how do i reverse it so that mousewheel scrolling DOWN is zooming in?

fyi, i am a long time firefox user looking to migrate to a different, less bloated browser. anyway, firefox has the option that allows various tweaks in the "about:config" page, including the aforementioned mousewheel zooming direction, which i am habitually addicted to.....old dog, new tricks.

Just added my vote. I came to the forums to see if someone else had made this request. Glad I'm not alone.

The mouse gestures as they are right now are great, but limited in how we can form shapes. In all honesty I'm really bad with remembering some of the gestures, I need to open up Settings to look at them from time to time.

It would be awesome to just use SHIFT, CTRL, and/or ALT in various combinations with similar gestures. We'd get 7 additional commands per gesture! All we have to remember is the combination of modifier keys, which is much simpler.

See also Diagonal Mouse Gestures, which would also increase the number of commands that can be assigned to simple gestures, and Ctrl+Click on Images to Save Them, just like Opera 12.18.

@Pesala Nice! I went and upvoted that too.
