2 finger scrolling on desktop should switch the workspace to left or right

Registered by Mohammad Gufran

Since elementary has horizontal workspace listing it would be great if scrolling to left or right on desktop can flip the workspace. it does not even require a multi-gesture touchpad, just two finger scroll on desktop and its done ;)

I think that would be really cool, but what if you have a mouse?

Maybe "Shift + Mouse Scroll" in that case ? --Gufran

I don't think it should be different for mice and touchpads, that could be annoying/confusing. Why not shift + scroll on both? ~Nemo

Well, because everything else out there use "Shift + Mouse Scroll" to scroll horizontally and simple scroll to scroll vertically.

This should be a bug report against Gala, not a blueprint --DanRabbit

I dont see any reason why this should be a bug report when the feature was never planned or implemented and it is not there ? Bug report can only piss off Gala developers, nothing much. -Gufran
