Create a schortcut for Keyboard Key + Scroll
I want to map the action ctrl+shift+tab + scroll to volume up/down. How can I achieve this?
I know that ctrl + scroll maps to zoom in/out by default. Surely, there must be a way to create such a custom shortcut no?
(I am running kde plasma 5.14.5)

As far as my reseach went, I wasn't able to find any elegant solution to the problem. I hacked a very crude python script that does the job poorly... I'm sorry.
from pynput import keyboard
from pynput import mouse
from pynput.keyboard import Controller
import subprocess
from subprocess import call
kbd = Controller()
COMBINATIONS = [{keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.Key.shift}]
current = set()
def execute():
with mouse.Listener(on_scroll=on_mscroll) as listener:
listener.join()
def on_press(key):
if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
current.add(key)
if any(all(k in current for k in COMBO) for COMBO in COMBINATIONS):
# this executes only once and then it looses the keycombination
execute()
def on_release(key):
if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
try:
current.remove(key)
except KeyError:
pass
def on_mscroll(x, y, dx, dy):
if dy < 0:
# this can be changed to the appropriate command to change the volume
# like pactl
call(["amixer", "-D", "pulse", "sset", "Master", "5%-"],stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)
else:
call(["amixer", "-D", "pulse", "sset", "Master", "5%+"], stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)
return False
with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
listener.join()
The problem with this is that you need to press ctrl + shift + scoll up/down and then RE-PRESS shift to toggle the action again. I mean it's annyong. Also this does not block the scroll, so you might want to scroll on a neutral place (like a sidebar).
This uses pynput but I hope that won't be a problem
