    MX Master mouse Thumb Wheel not working for Horizontal Scroll in NinjaSript Editor

    Hello

    I would like to know what would be the way do horizontal scroll in NinjaScript Editor in addition to the traditional way:
    • Going to the horizontal scroll bar with the muse cursor,
    • then doing left clicking and holding the key
    • and finally moving the scroll bar.

    In your next site I see that NinjaScript Editor has a shortcuts list, for example:
    • “Ctrl + Down” for Scroll down
    • “Ctrl + Up” for Scroll up
    https://ninjatrader.com/es/support/helpGuides/nt8/?editor_keyboard_shortcuts.htm

    But for some reason I couldn’t find some shortcut as the next:
    • “Ctrl + standard main mouse wheel” for right-and-left horizontal scroll, that is an action you would use more than the current zoom-in and zoom-out action this shortcut does.
    or at least keyboard shortcuts as:
    • “Ctrl + Right” for right horizontal scroll
    • “Ctrl + Left” for left horizontal scroll

    Well, now I’m testing Logitech MX Master mouse that comes with a thumb wheel precisely with the default horizontal scroll action for the different Windows programs, but it doesn’t work in NinjaScript Editor, and I don’t understand the reason if I tested this mouse with some other Windows software like: Excel, Word, Notepad (the classic that comes with Windows), Visual Studio Code… Even I tested that this also works with video players to move forward and backward the timeline, and also in websites that come with sections where horizontal scroll is needed, e.g. a NinjaTrader site like the next one that comes with an index in the left:
    https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...n_quantity.htm


    Ok, this kind of mouse also come with customizable keys where you can assign a keyboard shortcut (key or key combination) to also get a desired action you need, but I haven’t found a key combination to get working the horizontal scroll action in NinjaScript Editor, however the expected would be that NinjaScript Editor would have worked with the thumb wheel without to do any special thing, just like other programs worked from the second 1 with this very basic feature, and the other programs work with this thumb wheel in the exact same way that works any standard mouse main wheel, but instead to do an up-and-down vertical scroll, with this thumb wheel they do a right-and-left horizontal scroll.


    I know this specific mouse model is very widely used by programmers using it in IDEs and Code Editors, even persons that buy this mouse mainly for the horizontal scroll feature in programs like Excel and Code Editors, and they do this for a reason, because it is useful, convenient and save time, facilitating you to stay focused on what is really important by simplifying to the minimum an action that without this requires to stop what you focused on the Code Editor, only to do horizontal scroll by carrying the mouse to the horizontal scroll bar, and horizontal scroll is a very basic action not too different that do the standard vertical scroll with the main mouse wheel.


    I really hope this problem can have a solution because persons who acquire this mouse is precisely with the idea to be more productive by simplifying their workflow process with actions and shortcuts like the one described here.


    Thank you

    Hi futurenow, thanks for posting. The typical horizontal scroll function is Shift+Scroll wheel, but the script editor that NinjaTrader uses does not have this. I will check with our development team to see if they can add this in.

      Thank you for your reply

      As I've noticed this mouse model is frequently used by developers, in case on the developer team some member has this mouse model, please check if they could also add the native compatibility with the horizontal scroll thumb wheel without the need to have to add a shortcut for this in the mouse settings software. A kind of native way just like the classic Windows Notepad where is not needed anything special to get the horizontal scroll, and you just need to place the mouse cursor over that text editor and move the wheel with an instant response.


      Thank you for your time and please post here when you have any news!

        Hi futurenow, I submitted a feature request to support Shift+Scroll and mice with a thumb scroll wheel to scroll horizontally.

        Kind regards,

          That's sound great!

          When you can, you could please leave a way to track the feature request, to check futures NinjaTrader 8 updates.

          Thank you for the support
