Make an option to disable Shift -> Horizontal Scroll

[stefansundin]

Hello. Is the shift behavior interfering with another program? Would be nice with some more information.

I'm sorry the build instructions are a little out of date. I think I will update the instructions to recommend using Cygwin to build the program. In Cygwin, you can get the packages mingw64-i686-gcc-core and mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core. You should be able to use the bat script in Cygwin too by running ./build.bat.

P.S. I updated build.bat to be compatible with Cygwin. It simply needed the backslashes replaced with slashes.

Thanks for the help - I was able to compile it successfully with the changes applied (I just removed the lines). As for the interference: For now, I only noticed issues with certain games - when you want to hold shift and use the mouse wheel to change the selected slot simultaneously, it doesn't work because the game doesn't understand horizontal scrolling.

Cool! AltDrag is supposed to disable itself in fullscreen applications, such as games. Is this game is in windowed mode?

[Mathe172]

I was indeed running the game in windowed mode, just because windows doesn't like full-screen applications with multiple monitors that much. But I retried it in full-screen mode, and it didn't change anything (still not working with AltDrag active). Another solution I found was to just blacklist the window of the game.
I understand that you might not want to over-complicate your program for such an incompatibility, it's fine for me to just change that line now that I know how to compile it successfully :)

P.S.: But if you have any questions, I'll happily try to help you :)

Hmm.. Yes, you are correct that InactiveScroll does not look for fullscreen windows. I should fix that.

Glad that blacklisting the window is working. I have been thinking of having different blacklists for different features, so that you still can alt drag the window but the scroll features are disabled, but I'm afraid that I will get like 10 different blacklists and it will be confusing. What do you think?

[Mathe172]

The idea of multiple blacklists sounds amazing! But you're probably right, it may be confusing...
Maybe you could make the option only available through the config file (use the default blacklist for all futures unless the "sub-blacklists" are filled manually) and just note in the interface that there's an advanced option.

Okay, makes sense.
