We are working on SDL based events so we should probably synchronise.
Because mouse wheel should be an event and not simulated.
Merwan is producing touch event.

Let's say for example thant I want to create a rectangle on the screen and
be able to move it up and down by pressing CTRL + up / down arrow and be
able to rotate it with the mouse wheel. Does this mean that on Linux I
just
can't ?

Mathieu contact Merwan to see if he has support for that.

That is correct by default, but you can always hack the VM if you reeeeally
want that behavior. Also, if you just wait a bit, I'm in the process of
remapping the wheel simulation shortcuts to be extremely less likely to
conflict with actual keyboard events. It is already done for Mac. I wrote
the patch for GNU/Linux & Windows, but didn't have machines available when I
was testing (the code may take a bit of massaging to compile). The upside is
that it's a backward compatible VM change, so you will be able to take
advantage of it in any Pharo version that will run on the latest VMs.

And does this mean that if I create an application able to react to mouse
wheel, I need to code it differently for Windows and for Linux ?

No, you would code it the same way. In the image, MouseWheelEvents are
created regardless of the keyboard event used to simulate them. The only
thing different would be the keyboard equivalents.
