Description

Environment
  • TeXstudio: 2.12.12
  • Qt: 5.11.2
  • OS: Mac (probably applies to all platforms)
  • TeX distribution: independent of TeX distribution
Actual behavior

The current PDF viewer allows for PDFs to be zoomed. This is highly useful when working on small displays, like notebooks, as it allows the user to zoom to fix text width to the viewer window.

Suggested enhancement

It would be great to have a button that locks horizontal scroll from the mouse / trackpad as this would allow easier scrolling when the PDF viewer is zoomed to text width.

Research direction

Start by locating the PDF viewer's zoom and mouse or trackpad scroll handling in the C++/Qt code; the issue names no files or tests. Done means the zoomed viewer provides a control that locks horizontal scrolling while preserving the requested vertical scrolling behavior.
