"Keyboard shortcuts" involving mouse events

[Malik_Kennedy]

Is there a way to bind keyboard+mouse or keyboard+touchpad events to shortcuts? Specifically something like Win+MouseScrollUp to Karousel: Focus Left and Win+MouseScrollDown to Karousel: Focus Right.

I am using fusuma to bind focus left and right to multitouch gestures on a laptop, but I don’t know how to achieve a similar setup for my desktop with a mouse. Due to the fact that there is no multi-touch gesturing it seems to me that I need modifier keys to cleanly map actions to the scroll wheel. I found this page using xbindkeys but the name made me suspicious enough of it’s wayland compatibility to not spend much effort testing it as a possible solution, since I am using Plasma on Wayland.

for something like that i would look outside of plasma at something like input-remapper

I have heard of input-remapper and tried it out, but I struggle to surmount my confusion in using it here.

It looks like I can only bind to individual devices[1]? After clicking my mouse or keyboard, it brings me to presets[2], and adding a preset brings me to editor[3]. Record in editor when my mouse is selected doesn’t seem to register either Win key or my scrollwheel.

Combinations across multiple devices apparently can be done, but require some macro programming.
