You mean like when the content area becomes larger and a horizontal scrollbar
appears? But without the scrollbar in case of the Notebookbar, right?
Hope I got you wrong because that would be the worst solution ever. No
indication for the user, very uncommon behavior, weird fiddling with different
concepts.

We would copy bad usability. Where does wheeling have an effect except to
scroll or zoom? Nothing to say against keyboard interactions, ctrl+tab should
be there out of the box.
