[Feature]: Enable mouse wheel scrolling

[SamkitSanghvi]

Describe the Feature

Description:
At present, Foblex only allows scrolling through drag , which can feel restrictive when working on larger canvases. and having lots of nodes in the canvas

Supporting the mouse wheel for navigation would make it faster and more natural for users to explore their workspace.

Expected Behavior:
Users should be able to scroll vertically and horizontally using the mouse wheel.
Scrolling should feel smooth and responsive.

Additional Context:

Also consider
horizontal scrolling should require Shift + mouse wheel (standard browser behavior).
vertical Scrolling (mouse-wheel)
ctrl + mousewheel (zooming)

Thanks in advanced 🫡

What problem does it solve?

For user it will be intutive with the standard browser behavior
and for larger workflow navigation will be easy

Have you considered any alternatives?

Thank you for your suggestion and for taking the time to describe it in detail 🙏
At first glance, using the mouse wheel for navigation might seem straightforward, but the challenge is deciding which direction it should control — vertical or horizontal.

In Foblex, we’ve chosen to keep navigation via drag, as it is the simplest and most predictable approach across all scenarios. For that reason, we don’t currently plan to support mouse wheel scrolling.

Thanks for the detailed response 🙏

Just a thought would it be possible to achieve this through the new custom event triggers introduced in the latest version? For example, capturing the mouse wheel event and programmatically moving the canvas position.

Regarding the direction choice, I think the common pattern is:

Mouse wheel → vertical scroll

Shift + mouse wheel → horizontal scroll

That way it stays consistent with standard browser behavior.

Just suggesting maybe you could expose an output/trigger for scrolling behavior, both via mouse wheel and drag

Hey Buddy @siarheihuzarevich
Any updated on this ?

[siarheihuzarevich]

As mentioned earlier, we don’t plan to implement wheel-based panning — in our library the mouse wheel is already reserved for zoom.
If you’d like to have this behavior, you can implement it as a custom plugin on top of the existing API.
Closing this issue to keep the scope clear.
