@taigrr arrow keys doesn't do anything extra to home or end key, and alone they move 1 ch per interation horizontally, hardly what I'd call scrolling.
What am I missing with your comment? -
Just avoid it altogether.
And once a month when you fail at that use the scroll bar. -
mt3o19146yI don't understand your problem, but rrgarding idea of horizontal scroll, either avoid, or stick to a narrow rectangle where it keeps the priority over vertical scroll.
Regarding Logitech mice, they often have a horizontal scrolling wheel, or main wheel that can click on the sides and does the scroll this way. Great solution, comes handy when reading snippets of code that keep formatting and go over the margin. -
@mt3o narrow rectangle? I use the G502 proteus core, with side scroll on the scroll wheel. Sadly, PHPStorm interprets it as repeated arrow keys (to one char left/right at the time in a continuous loop.

mt3o19146y@Skriptkiddy by saying 'narrow rectangle' i meant the kind of widget on the website like a slider/carousel. For phpstorm, or intellij in my case, i prefer to occasionally toggle the line wrap.
-
@mt3o you mean Webstorm? Both are IntelliJ (: So you're saying there's a plugin/widget for something similar?
-
mt3o19146yPlugin for what? Code wrap? Or line wrap, whatever its called? It's available in all text editors, including notepad.exe

Seeing as I will be scorned for asking this on SO, and there's a ton of devs here that probably had this conundrum: how have you solved horizontal scrolling when working? I know shift + mw+/- works but what's the use having a mouse with macro functionality if not to simplify that? My current software supports lua scripting (but I don't know how to write it). I see some people requesting this while googling I but cannot find anyone that has a solution. The closest I get is a user requesting it from Logitech as they apparently have the same but for ctrl+mw in their products.
