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.
