Scroll through the lightbox items with the mouse wheel

[MacWordPress]

Please consider controlling the lightbox with the mouse wheel. This is the standard way of control nowadays and will perfectly complement swipe navigation, as well as mouse drag.

Until it is considered, You can extent lightbox and create a custom component. (Code not tested on mobile/touch browsers)

UIkit.component('customLightbox', UIkit.component('lightbox').extend({
	events: [
		{
			name: 'wheel',
			el: window,
			delegate: '.uk-lightbox-panel',
			handler(e) {
				if (e.deltaY > 0) {
					this.show('next');
				} else if (e.deltaY < 0) {
					this.show('previous');
				}
			},
		},
	],
}));

And then use the new component with uk-custom-lightbox attribute.
