Hello,

I believe there's a bug when using the mouse wheel in this fashion. The results are completely erratic and unusable.

Alt{WheelUp WheelUp WheelUp} >> 3
Alt{WheelUp WheelUp} >> 2
Alt{WheelUp} >> 1

Same thing with the WheelDown option.

Obviously, the goal is to get 1, 2 or 3 depending on how many mouse wheel clicks are fired sequentially while Alt stays pressed. If I remove the first two lines and only leave Alt{WheelUp} >> 1, I get 1 consistently.

Incidentally, similar setups that do not use the mouse wheel produce correct results.

Here's one using keys only.

Alt{Space Space Space} >> 3
Alt{Space Space} >> 2
Alt{Space} >> 1

And here's one using a mouse button.

Alt{ButtonLeft ButtonLeft ButtonLeft} >> 3
Alt{ButtonLeft ButtonLeft} >> 2
Alt{ButtonLeft} >> 1
