Shift+mouse wheel for horizontal scrolling

[greenbech]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would first like to say that this project is a great initiative! I've not seen any other open web-based midi-editor at this standard. A small room for improvement would be to add shift+mouse wheel for horizontal scrolling as this is seen in many other midi-editors (such as Logic Pro, FL Studio).

Describe the solution you'd like

• shift+mouse wheel down should scroll the midi editor left
• shift+mouse wheel up should scroll the midi editor right

Describe alternatives you've considered I know that scrolling left/right on a trackpad works, which is great! But sometimes you only have a mouse and that can be more efficient.

Additional context Another feature I like very well from Logic Pro is alt+scrolling for vertical zoom and alt+shift+scrolling for horizontal zoom.

Thank you for the feature request. Unfortunately, there is no API to decide whether the user using the mouse wheel or trackpad. How about adding the setting for inverting wheel option?

Alt+scolling to zoom is great! I will implement that.

I'm not sure whether you have implemented it since I opened this issue or if I just didn't got it to work before, but shift+mouse wheel works for me now!

Unfortunately, there is no API to decide whether the user using the mouse wheel or trackpad.

I do not think you need to distinguish between using the mouse wheel or trackpad as the way it works now is perfect. Scrolling with two fingers on the trackpad moves the editor the way I expect (just like moving an image on a touch screen). Shift+mouse wheel moves the editor just at wrote in the first post.

How about adding the setting for inverting wheel option?

I'm not sure if that is nessecary, but I guess it wouldn't hurt! I would rather add shift+clicking to select the box selection tool.

Alt+scolling to zoom is great! I will implement that.

That would be great 😄

Another neat shortcut to add would be to press ? to open the help menu (this is for instance done on Gmail and YouTube)

• Alt+scolling to zoom
• Press ? to open the help menu

These are implemented in #70.

I found this project today and am really enjoying it. Thank you for the great piece of work.

The first thing I noticed is that there is no Shift + Mouse wheel horizontal scroll feature and I ended up here. Whether you intend to implement this or not, I want to let you know that Shift+mouse wheel horizontal scroll does not work in my environment. OS: Windows10 Browser: Chrome 98.0.4758.82

@yusuke-kadowaki It's definitely not working. I'll investigate it. Thanks for reporting the issue!
