Hello,

Apologies if this is already possible, I'm very unfamiliar with this type of configuration.

If possible it would be great if on top of having alt + 1 or alt + 2 to switch between workspaces you could also press alt or another modifier and scroll through the workspaces, scroll down to go to 2, 3 ,4 ,5, etc and scroll up to go back to the previous.

Could potentially make switching feel more fluid in a more mouse focused workflow.

Thanks for your time and take care!

FYI, this is pretty easy if you use AHK to (partially) define your shortcuts:

!WheelUp::Runwait % "komorebic.exe cycle-workspace previous",, Hide  ; Alt + Scroll up cycles to previous workspace
!WheelDown::Runwait % "komorebic.exe cycle-workspace next",, Hide    ; Alt + Scroll down cycles to next workspace

EDIT:
Depending on your mouse-settings, you may find that your scroll speed is so fast that you trigger multiple workspace changes. If this happens, you can also add a bit of debounce. Here's an example for a debounce timer that I use to change workspaces when scrolling over the taskbar (without modifier).

This should be done with AHK as urob suggested, as whkd doesn't support scroll events.
