Hey, thanks for reaching out! Sadly that's why Alt shortcut was choose instead common Ctrl. As you saw if applied there is a conflict between current shortcuts for file manager using Ctrl.
I thought auto deactivate the shortcut or adding a bool option to deactivate the shortcut, but at the end I don't wan't the add-on to interfere and change your user settings without you realizing it, and modify user's workflow on other 2D areas.
Maybe adding a warning when trying to change for control, and then an option to remap the default conflicting keymapcan be a solution or just writing down the work-arrounds can be a good start to address this issue. Rigth now I don't see a cleaner way to implement this.
Definitely implementing support for "Ctrl + Mouse direction" is a nice addition. I will work on that.
Hey, great add-on, super useful! Wanted to give some feedback: If I change the keymap from alt-wheel to ctrl-wheel (to mimic how it works in windows), if by scrolling too much I change the display mode (thumbnails, list. etc.) then I cannot scroll back to change it. -I say this also because it would be super cool if this worked also with the same behavior of resizing the size of other editors, where by holding ctrl and scrool-wheel and then dragging to the left or to the right it smoothly resizes the window.
Thank!
