Horizontally Scroll the Timeline

Apollo · started 2017-09-25 00:40 · updated 2018-08-02 18:14

For users with mice that have a separate scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling, or using the shortcut Shift+Scroll to scroll horizontally, these features should be used to navigate the timeline

Also, I noticed that selecting now navigates the timeline, thanks for fixing it! cx

this along with some shortcuts for zooming in and out would drastically improve the speed i can work at

Awesome!
I did try it with Shift+Scroll, which works.
However, with the native horizontal scrolling control on my mouse, it doesn't work.
I'm using a Logitech MX Master 2S.

I'm uncertain how mapping that would work...
I did some preliminary research but I'm not sure how Audiotool handles the timeline as an element

Yes, it does work for me.
When I use the vertical scroll wheel, DeltaY changes (by 100)
When I use the horizontal scroll wheel, DeltaX changes (by 25 smoothly).

One thing to note though, Shift+Scroll no longer works (in case users want to take advantage of this feature, but don't have access to a mouse with a horizontal scroll wheel)

I'm not sure, but usually in pages where the overflow-x property of an element is shown (say the website or something in it) I can use Shift+Scroll just fine, as though I was using the horizontal scroll wheel on my mouse (they both do the same thing)

Btw, a small tidbit on this, Chrome on Mac enables swipe navigation gestures by default that cause the page to go back when no scrollable content is available on the x axis (undermining the usefulness of this implementation). This can likely be addressed with an eventListener that prevents the default action in the browser.
