From a logical point of view, ctrl makes more sense to me. Because
shift usually just modifies the normal behavior of a key or button,
while ctrl is used for special functions like shortcuts. The normal
behavior of the scroll wheel is to scroll the view, so it makes sense
to me that holding shift will switch the direction or speed in which
it scrolls, while holding ctrl does something completely different.
Are there any other applications which use the "swapped" modifiers
besides of Gimp?
