Scroll output only when `ctrl` is pressed

[betatim]

How about changing the behaviour of the output area so that you have to press ctrl or cmd to scroll it. Similar to how several map widgets do it. I frequently try to scroll through a notebook and then get "stuck" at a cell with a lot of output and scroll through that instead of the notebook.

GIF of the behaviour on google maps:

I'd also love a version where clicking on the output makes it "focus" and allows scrolling within. Otherwise it's a container that doesn't "hijack" scroll.

Is anyone currently working on this? I'm interested in looking into this tonight or this weekend.

This one is definitely open!

This is still a good idea, though I couldn't imagine this being touched for a bit. As we're now more able to affect the core experience (more maintainers and contributors, out from under the muck we ended up with in flow), we might be able to revisit this one.

This issue hasn't had any activity on it in the last 90 days. Unfortunately we don't get around to dealing with every issue that is opened. Instead of leaving issues open we're seeking to be transparent by closing issues that aren't being prioritized. If no other activity happens on this issue in one week, it will be closed. It's more than likely that just by me posting about this, the maintainers will take a closer look at these long forgotten issues to help evaluate what to do next. If you would like to see this issue get prioritized over others, there are multiple avenues 🗓:

• Ask how you can help with this issue 👩🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻
• Help solve other issues the team is currently working on 👨🏾‍💻👩🏼‍💻
• Donate to nteract so we can support developers to work on these features and bugs more regularly 💰🕐

Thank you!

Commenting on this to remove the stale tag.

I'm gonna go ahead and ref this to https://github.com/nteract/nteract/issues/4448 since they are related.

I'll also tag this as new contributor friendly in case people are interested.
