Hi Nicolas.

Not global. Local to a hand. There can be multiple hands in an image.

Agreed. :-)

Also, smooth wheel scrolling is related to some magic numbers in PluggableTextMorph and ScrollPane (or ScrollBar). In any case an issue for after the 5.3 release. I suppose.

Hi Marcel,
this is the pragmatical result of experimentation.
Please try such a configuration:
- a VM that sends mouse wheel events

- Smalltalk sendMouseWheelEvents: true
- a computer with a trackpad (preferably a MacBook which sends many many such events)

So -1 for a Preferences, this is not a Preferences, this is a must, or we will never switch to sendMouseWheelEvents

Concerning peekEvent, sorry, I don't understand the problem.
I used the exact same solution than HandMorph>>mouseTrailFrom: (from #generateMouseEvent:)
If we send #peekEvent at every #mouseMove we can also send it at every mouse wheel.

IMO, global mouse wheel state serves  just complexifies things uselessly.
We don't want a global state (Or is it for MVC?)

Hmm... so you want to move any delta aggregation into the VM but keep delta-to-event mapping inside the image. In a perfect world, this would be the way to go. But the use of "Sensor peekEvent" is really, really, really unfortunate! :-) I would try to remove it the next time I stumble over it. :-D Sorry.

Considering cross-platform VM issues in the past, I would rather not remove the delta aggregation (or delta mapping) from the image. MouseWheelState took inspiration from MouseClickState and MouseOverHandler.

So, I vote for:

- make delta aggregation (or mapping) optional in the image via a preference
- add that time-out to MouseWheelState
- no calls to "Sensor peekEvent" in HandMorph under any circumstances ... please :-)

Best,
Marcel

Provide smoother scrolling in response to mouse wheel events

Instead of delivering the events when delta reaches 120, make this threshold a Preference (minimumWheelDelta)

Reminder: 120 represents a single notch for traditional mouse wheel with notches, but trackpads can deliver much smaller deltas

Rather than accumulating the deltas into MouseWheelState, do it when we #generateMouseWheelEvent:
Indeed, small deltas will come in packets of successive events, and it's more efficient to regroup then, a bit like we do with mouse trails...

Also MouseWheelState did ignore time outs (long delays between deltas) and other state changes (buttons/modifiers), which was not ideal.

Directly get those states from the raw eventBuffer, like any other mouse event. This requires integration of tose 2 PR:
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/461 [https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/461] for Windows
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/462 [https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/462] for OSX and linux

Honour larger deltas too in ScrollPane>>#mouseWheel: event handling
Honour horizontal mouse wheels too in ScrollPane

With patched VM, and following settings, I get a reasonnable scrolling experience on OSX:

HandMorph minimumWheelDelta: 20.
Smalltalk sendMouseWheelEvents: true.
