Middle mouse button scrolling

• VSCode Version: 1.10

I searched the issues but did not find any such post, so apologies if there is an existing thread that I missed.

I'd like to know if there is any middle mouse click scrolling, planned? That is, clicking the scroll wheel to toggle drag scrolling. It's a useful feature to have when navigating very long files.

And if it isn't, is there any API that would allow this to be enabled via an extension?

Thanks

@harold-b This is an OS-level Windows feature, it should work on Windows now. Also middle click has special behavior on Linux by acting as a secondary clipboard so it definitely wouldn't work there.

Which version is it available on? I can't seem to trigger it on 1.10 public or insiders.

@harold-b do you have the same issues in Chrome and/or Atom? I wouldn't expect us to need to do anything on our side for it to work.

I'm on Chrome right now and it's always worked. I've never used atom (other than electron via VSCode), but I'll grab it and verify.

I tried Atom, it didn't work either. I checked the settings page to see if there was an option I needed to enable, I didn't find anything, but scrolling worked on the settings page. So I decided to check a markdown file in preview mode on VS Code, and it worked there too. However, not in text documents on either app.

@harold-b k, I'll relabel and assign, thanks for bearing with me 😃
