As the title says. I _think_ his alias start with an S but I could be misremembering (not Salem or Shokio). Unfortunately I recall him purging content off his youtube channel, and may have fully deleted it since that time. I don't know if he actually competed officially or just streamed or posted highligts on youtube/twitch.
Here's a link to part of the song. I just know it's some random song from a Japanese RPG. Probably one of the Final Fantasy's or maybe Chrono Trigger, since I don't know the soundtracks to many others to have mixed it up.
A lot of programs have conflicting shortcuts for horizontal scrolling. Some use Shift+Scroll, others are Ctrl+Scroll, and some don't even have a shortcut. If you have a mouse with extra buttons, it's more convenient to scroll that way.
With this code, so long as there's one key on the keyboard you're fine sacrificing, you can use it with virtually any program, without having to look up and remap their specific shortcuts, and it works when hovering over a program too.
Here's the code:
InstallKeybdHook
InstallMouseHook
Persistent
WheelUp::WheelUp
WheelDown::WheelDown
Insert & WheelUp::WheelLeft
Insert & WheelDown::WheelRight
My mouse (Kone 2 Air) doesn't have app-specific settings, and Windows doesn't read beyond 6 mouse buttons, so other programs can't re-map the extra buttons either. With this, all you do is remap your one extra button in your manufacturer's program to a regular key, and then AHK can read that and do the rest. The added benefit is that this is near-universal. It doesn't matter if the program you're using it with has a different shortcut, because you're bypassing it anyway. And news to me, the horizontal scroll rate is the same whether it's the in-program keyboard shortcut or using the tilt-wheel. The only difference is the physical pieces making it easier/harder.
Because tilt-scrolling is directional (unlike WASD), basically any program that has scrolling at will only have tilt-scrolling as horizontal scrolling and not act as some other function. It's also 20+ years old so nearly any program you use will have it factored in. Oddly enough, literally the only way to horizontally scroll in Notepad is with tilt-scrolling. It doesn't even have keyboard shortcuts like Shift+Scroll. So this works for even those programs. It doesn't work in Explorer, but only because Explorer doesn't even have tilt-scroll for some reason (I think someone wrote a script that works, but I haven't tried it).
