I think I probably do want to disable Alt, but I'm not 100% convinced of that yet. I might be able to get away with just adding Shift+wheel to behave the same as Alt+Wheel. At least until someone says that they want Alt+Wheel to do something completely different! > If you want this to be the UX for all your QAbstractScrollArea widgets, then > you can install an event filter on the viewport of all of them.

Thankfully I only care about doing this for an existing custom class that inherits QGraphicsView, so I don't need to worry about an across-the-board change Thanks for the detail explanation of what happens under the hood, as well as what steps to take to solve this. Any chance the ability to control the modifiers could be a built-in Qt ability down the road? From the one user of mine that requested it, he believes that the shift+wheel for horizontal scrolling is "standard behavior on all Windows apps", which I've verified is not true - there doesn't seem to be a universal way to do horizontal scrolling with the mouse wheel. Nevertheless, it would be nice to be able to easily set that behavior to make Qt-based apps feel more natural to users.
