I want to set up cinnamon to switch workspaces right and left when I press my mouse scroll wheel clicker right or left, but I don't see an option in the cinnamon settings. Is there any way to accomplish this?

It is possible to do this with the assistance of
xbindkeys
.Install (
#apt-get install xbindkeys
), and then add this to the bottom of~/.xbindkeysrc
:(
b:6
andb:7
are respectively the left and right rocker buttons on my mousewheel -- ymmv; usexev
to work out the correct indices).xbindkeys
should reload its own configuration automatically, but you may need to force it withkillall -HUP xbindkeys
. You may also need to log out and in again after installing it for the first time.
