Mouse Wheel

This document describes how to use assign a control to the mouse wheel/scroll feature.

By default the mouse wheel functions like a touch panning on the screen, allowing content to be scrolled vertically. The feature influenced by the mouse wheel is determined by the location of the cursor.

The control assigned to the mouse wheel will function whenever the cursor is over a feature that does not scroll. For example, the titlebar or controller.

To enable the assigned control to override the default scrolling behavior of the text, the Apply to Text Content option must be enabled.

Requirements:

The mouse must be paired with the iOS device. Follow the mouse instructions to pair the devices.

The mouse remote is only available on devices running iOS 13 or later. Some features require iOS 14 or later.
