Scroll Left/Right Using Mouse Wheel Tilt

Hello,

 

Many mouses (mice?) allow you to tilt the mouse wheel either left or right. It would be great if this would scroll the canvas left or right, similar to rolling the wheel to scroll the canvas up or down. This would be especially useful considering that users have been nudged to create their workflows horizontally.

 

Thanks!

 That is a great idea and would help people who have that capability.

 

In the meant time if you hold shift and scroll you will move left to right as well.

When will this simple feature get added?

Depending on your preference you can actually rotate the way you are building your workflows under the standard workflow preferences by building vertically instead of horizontal (its under the layout tab https://help.alteryx.com/9.5/ModuleProperties.htm ). I actually switched directions for this very reason. It makes it easier for me to navigate with the flow of data.

Horizontal scrolling would really help in the workflow window.
