Guided/restricted horizontal and vertical touch scrolling, based upon initial input detection

[JimmyD]

I would like to request guided/restricted horizontal or vertical touch scrolling for PDF-XChange Editor.

Most touch optimized apps have a subtle feature when zoomed in, that restricts the scrolling to strictly horizontal or vertical, once they detect the initial bit of input as horizontal or vertical.

This makes it much more easier to scroll perfectly vertically or horizontally with your thumb.

Thanks in advance.

Hello JimmyD,

I will pass your suggestion to my colleagues working on Touch Screen devices support, and see what we can do in that respect!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, Loki@99

Indeed, it does appear this item still has not been addressed. I have brought the topic back up with the dev team for another review.

Kind regards,

Hi,

The unintentional horizontal motion is also reproducible in Bookmarks panel.

Hello, Loki@99

Noted, I expect the same appears in all panes where a horizontal scrollbar is possible.

Kind regards,
