mwheel

Allow changing virtual-desktops in Windows 10 by mousewheel on the desktop.

This simulates a common behaviour from XFCE and other desktop environments.

The download package contains both .exe binary and .ahk source.

This is a proof-of-concept script with known issues, I invite anyone to patch the remaining bugs.

Known Issues

  • Switching desktops is emulated by keystroke, which has some edge-case behaviour e.g. use of Control may change icon size on the desktop
  • Nonmatching mousewheel input isn't always passed through to the underlying window
