I have a mouse that supports side scrolling (very useful - recommended).
I had this working nicely in VS Code, but about a month ago the side scroll speed seemed to increase in VS code making it too fast, and pretty much unusable without heavily changing my mouse settings. But when I swap to Visual Studio (not code) it is much slower, so I can't set up my mouse for both.
With a little testing I have found:
VS Code scrolls left/right by 6 characters per click.
Visual Studio 2019 scrolls left/right by 1 character per click.
Windows has a setting to set how many characters are side-scrolled per click, but this is totally ignored by both apps. To change side-scroll speed I have to change the repeat rate in my mouse software.
VS Code has a setting editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity descrbied as A multiplier to be used on the deltaX and deltaY of mouse wheel scroll events that can be used to modify scroll speed in both directions, but it's not very helpful without being split into 2 separate settings.
It would be really great to be able to control side scrolling speed, quick side scrolling really saves a lot of time.
I think the most obvious approach is
A) to respect the side scroll speed setting in windows as a baseline
and
B) to break the VS Code setting into separate X and Y settings to let the use adjust vertical and horizontal scrolling separately.
Alternatively, ignoring the windows setting is also totally workable.
