(In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #2)
> It's already implemented. Use Meta+Alt+wheel.

Hi there! Sorry for necroing this, I totally get why this was marked as
WORKSFORME but I wanted to politely clarify that the original request was
specifically for **Meta (alone) + scroll wheel** (global, anywhere on screen),
rather than the existing Meta+Alt+scroll. What is currently implemented (and it
is hardcoded, so you cannot change it to anything else), is as Vlad has said,
Meta+Alt+Scroll, and not Meta+Scroll.

As OP says, Meta+Scroll is way more ergonomic than Meta+Alt+Scroll, because the
former can be done with the thumb (or even the side of the left hand), whilst
the other four fingers remain hovered over QWERTY or ASDFG, so if you are
typing in-between two or three applications which are in contiguous virtual
desktops, you can get to typing much faster than if you actually had to lower
all your typing fingers in order to press Meta and Alt simultaneously.

This shortcut is actually the default on GNOME. My company laptops all come
with GNOME, and so I spend 8+ hours a day using this shortcut, and it is one of
the main features of GNOME I miss when I get home and I boot my machine in
which I have KDE.

This global shortcut can be found in master branch of
/plasma/kwin/src/virtualdesktops.cpp, lines 860-864:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/virtualdesktops.cpp?ref_type=heads#L860

If the team thinks this could be worth adding as an optional shortcut (perhaps
configurable in System Settings > Shortcuts > KWin), I'd be happy to try
submitting a merge request. Or is there a better way to discuss/propose it
(e.g., on KDE Discuss or a new feature request)?
