The only idea I can think of which wouldn't ruin the entire paradigm of gestures would be to require users to press the mouse button (many scroll wheels are also a button), but this is an awkward 'gesture' and thus might present problems. That, or build a scroll wheel with touch sensitivity, and implement a custom driver.

Or hold down a modifier key whilst moving the wheel perhaps. One looses some usability there though, especially as I already use 'alt' as a fine grained control modifier. I am presuming that scrolling trackpads behave in the same way as scroll wheels but I need to look into that.


At least a scrolling trackpad has the potential to detect the begin and end of a gesture, because the trackpad directly senses when the user is touching the surface. I have no idea whether the Apple API passes this through to an application - shouldn't be too hard to find out, though.
