• Gesture up cycles through 400, 1000, 1600 dpi

About using horizontal wheel for zooming - the proposed suggestion has one rather annoying flaw: zoom only works for a window that currently has focus, and not the one that your cursor is currently hovering over. For my personal use slightly different approach - bind KEY_LEFTCTRL to a thumbwel touch sensor.

    thumbwheel:
    {
        divert: true;
        invert: false;      
        
        touch: {
	  type: "Keypress";
	  keys: ["KEY_LEFTCTRL"]; 
	};
    };

Note, I do not use the horizontal wheel for zooming - I scroll with vertical one, just touching horizontal with thumb.

For completeness I could also map left and right gestures to the RES_WHEEL axis (so that horizontal wheel works in vertical axis, but modified with CTRL key) and use horizontal wheel for zooming, but then, the CTRL modifier would still apply to my main wheel anyway. Plus I find using the main wheel for zooming more comfortable - it is more precise if the freespin is off.

Currently searching for a way to map CTRL + Horizonal Wheel to something usefull, as right now my thumb wheel is useless for any other purposes.

My initial thoughts were to try to convert the horizontal scroll wheel to produce vertical scroll + CTRL key, to avoid the window having to have focus, but I couldn't work out how to do it with logiops. It might be possible with Xbindkeys, but that will need more investigation.
