OK. I thought the same.

But what should Ctrl+ mouse wheel do when enabled?

I haven't tried it but I think so too.

That's why the bindings should be to the least important stuff. It's
just that if you do have the super_l key it's a terrible waste of
desktop space if not used. I think it would be good to bind all
shift+control+key to super_l+key as well, that way if you happen to have
the super_l, you do not have to press 3 keys simultaneously.

I'll try to fix that bug today.

Please go ahead. The xffm po file is very large and I'm sure everybody
in .de will appreciate your contributions.
