Description Mr. Brummolix CLA 2019-02-05 15:51:39 EST 
Would it be possible to add a common mouse wheel behaviour to Eclipse, especially for all text editors?

In some applications (for example browsers) you can not only scroll with turning the mousewheel. You can also scroll while pressing the mousewheel down and moving the mouse up or down at the same time.

This is a very useful feature because it is more ergonomic for your hand and programmers have to do it all day long.

Please try the api added in bug 542777. It is still not exposed in eclipse itself but should give a preliminary look of it.

Can you give me a hint how to test it?

Is it already included in M1/M2 (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2019-03) ?

How to enable it if there's no UI for the preference?
