Tiles Feature Request: Change page on left-right scroll-wheel tilt

Currently you need to left-click and drag to change pages.  You can use the scroll-wheel to move the list up and down, but on mice with a tilting scroll-wheel, the left-right tile does nothing.  It would be helpful to have the left-right tilt change pages.

Interesting idea. If you have forward - backward buttons on your mouse they work to change pages. It might be nice to have the option to do it either way.

Good tip, though both of my forward/backward buttons only go forward.

That sounds like a mouse config issue.  I just checked here and button 4 moves to the left and button 5 to the right.

I agree...definitely don't log it as a bug (though please do log the feature request.   :) )

I double checked here and a wheel tilt left or right changes the pages here when the mouse is over the tiles bar.

If that is not working for you then it sounds like your mouse drivers are not sending the correct messages.  This could happen if they try to simulate horizontal scrolling rather than using the built in OS message which some applications will not process.

Using the OS default drivers for a mouse will probably fix this problem.

My G9 has the tilt set to left and right scroll thru Setpoint and doesn't work with Tiles. I did find that if I mouse over the Tile title then scrolling will change pages instead of shifting the page up/down.

I think SetPoint might be your issue there.
