Hi Harry,

I think an even better solution would be to use some hotkey (e.g. the middle mouse button) to switch between vertical and horizontal mouse wheel movements. This way both vertical and horizontal mouse wheel movements should work even if the mouse itself does not have the horizontal wheel. After all, the mouse wheel is much more comfortable to use than mouse buttons when it comes to scrolling, and with this there will be completely no conflicts with the standard mouse features either.

Wouldn't a conflict between XyWrite and other DOS programs regarding mouse
response be handled by something like WHEELMOD settings?

Hi Harry,

I have added horizontal scrolling in the latest build of vDos-lfn. Both
vertical and horizontal scrolling are now supported and can be customized
by the WHEELMOD directive in config.txt (the default value is "1,2", which
means vertical scrolling maps to up and down arrows while horizontal
scrolling maps to the left and right arrows). I did not add it for
left/right clicks because it will require some work and will also be a
duplicate, and it can cause conflicts with the standard mouse features as
well (note that vDos-lfn is a general-purposed DOS emulator). Hope both
vertical and horizontal scrolling features work for you.

We're getting there! The tilt actually works! But you've got left and right
reversed.

And could we have it work for left click and right click? Ideally, it would
repeat if held down. Titlting the wheel is apt to move the wheel up or down
at the same time.
