In the gnome image viewer (3.2.0), I would like to change these shortcuts for next/prev image to use the mousewheel. I would also like to change it in shotwell if possible. Current the mousewheel is assigned to zoom in/out on the current image, which I almost never need.

I've tried setting on desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels in gconf-editor but no luck.

I have found where I think I should edit, in ~/.config/eog/accels, there are lines like 

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActionsGallery/GoPrevious" "<Alt>Left")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActionsGallery/GoNext" "<Alt>Right")

Which I guess I should uncomment (remove semicolon) and assign to something else, but what could be the accel for mouse wheel events?

I dumped eog, instead using gthumb Install gthumb. The mousewheel has, by default, the sensible behaviour I was trying to get eog/shotwell to use, and as an added bonus it is seemingly much faster at rendering images too.

There is a plugin available to do this:

eog plugin Bad Mouse Wheel

Its called bad, because the eog-developers love another mouse behaviour....

Sadly, this isn't possible without modifying the Eye of GNOME source code.

accels is an abbreviation of "keyboard accelerators," and there is no way to associate these with mouse button events.
