[Feature Request]: Enable switching Virtual Desktops by scrolling the mouse wheel while hovering the Task View button

[ryotaro011]

Thank you for developing and maintaining Windows Virtual Desktop Helper! It’s been very helpful in everyday use.

What feature?

Summary

When the cursor hovers over the Task View button (next to the Start/Windows button), allow switching virtual desktops by scrolling the mouse wheel: scroll up → previous desktop, scroll down → next desktop.

Problem / Motivation

Fast, accurate, mouse-only desktop switching is currently awkward.

Keyboard shortcuts (Win+Ctrl+←/→) require two hands; taskbar thumbnails require extra travel and clicks.

A hover + wheel interaction would let users keep one hand on the mouse and switch desktops rapidly and precisely.

Proposed behavior

• While the pointer is hovering the Task View button:
  • Wheel up: switch to the previous virtual desktop
  • Wheel down: switch to the next virtual desktop
• Optional settings:
  • Enable/disable this feature
  • Invert scroll direction
  • Scroll sensitivity
