Allow mouse wheel scrolling on TOC without switching focus

Unread post by Thomas Grehl »

It would be a nice feature if the mouse wheel would allow scrolling on the TOC pane while the focus stays on the editor pane - similar to the behaviour in windows explorer.

thanks!

Hi Thomas,

It works in H&M if you undock the TOC. See recent discussion: https://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewto ... 356#p68356

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

thanks for the workaround, but this is not practical - mouse wheel scrolling on hover is a request to improve usability, undocking the TOC is cluttering the screen, especially if you work multip HM windows.

I still opt for the "real" solution, but understood it is a pain in Delphi.
