If you're using the portable version, then the last_taskbar_width value should reside in the .ini file, not in the registry. How come that you're seeing it in the registry? Did you have the non-portable version installed before?

I understand. I guess that it's a matter of preference - some will find it more convenient, some won't.
The tweaker doesn't provide this kind of fine-tuning, it just uses the system volume control. If you want more customization, perhaps using a specialized tool such as Volumouse is the way to go.

Well, 7+ Taskbar Tweaker uses the system mouse control app.
If I understand it correctly, you want the scrolling to accelerate the faster you scroll, right?
Instead of tweaking the volume control, you can change the behavior of the mouse wheel globally.

I do have two keyboard languages. I know that Alt+Shift works, but what does it have to do with a mouse click?

By default Windows uses Left click + alt + shift.

I'm not aware of that hotkey, and I can't get it working. Left click where, on the taskbar?

The first alpha version is available.

What error reporting are you talking about? How can I reproduce the issue?

The tweaker should remember the width upon restart. What OS are you using?
Also, please check whether the following registry value is being created:
last_taskbar_width (DWORD) in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar Tweaker
