Better support for smooth scrolling trackpads and mice
Continuation of #6700. Many of the those things have already been fixed in other PRs since then.
Main issue
Scrolling in LMMS has not been designed for high-resolution trackpads and mice. It either violently reacts on every tiny movement, or completely ignores it. This PR introduces a Scroll class used to calculate scroll values. It handles high-resolution scrolling, natural scrolling and modifier keys that swap scroll direction.
Other small improvements
- Vertical scrolling in Automation Editor and Piano Roll is now relative to vertical zoom level
- Enable horizontal scrolling in Piano Roll's note edit area
- Enable scrolling on Piano in the bottom of instrument window
- Horizontal scrolling on LCD spinboxes and Knobs doesn't continuously decrease their value
- (Edit) Horizontal scroll speed in Song Editor is slightly slower.
Changes
Remove Shift+scroll for horizontal scrolling in the editorsAlt+scroll already does the same thing and is built-in system-wide in Qt on Windows and Linux.This PR brings Alt+scroll (Option+scroll) to macOS too.- (Edit) Shift+scroll is de-facto on many systems. Let's keep that, even if Alt+Scroll is built into Qt.
- Allow macOS to use natural scrolling on ComboBoxes (swipe up to move to next item)
Is this how macOS does it on other drop down menus?- Native macOS drop down menus doesn't allow scrolling on them, so we can do whatever we want.
Things to test
Hey tester. There's a lot of widgets to test, I'm glad if you can help. If you have both a touchpad and mouse test if there's any difference. Here's some stuff you should look out for:
- Scroll speeds are the same as before.
- Scroll directions are the same as before.
- Scroll directions for natural scrolling on macOS.
- Scrolling on high-resolution trackpads.
- Is it possible to scroll diagonally in the editors? (Are there trackpads that support this?)
- Press modifier keys when scrolling (see list below)
- Test that the point under the mouse does not change when scrolling to zoom
- Test the scroll speed on logarithmic knobs
