In Awesome Window Manager, how can I bind alt+Scroll for zooming? For example, in KDE Plasma, it is done this way: 1) sudo apt install xbindkeys 2) Save the text below into ~/.xbindkeysrc : "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut view_zoom_in" alt + b:4 "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut view_zoom_out" alt + b:5 3) run: xbindkeys (it will automatically run each reboot, but this will run it now) Ideally, I'd love to discover an X level solution for this feature. This way I can bind zooming to the mouse scroll wheel in a manner that works in any window manager or desktop environment that is X based.
