Enable horizontal scrolling Phpstorm

Question

Is it possible to enable horizontal scrolling in Phpstorm?

I have found nothing whilst searching through the settings.

Do you mean with the mouse wheel or pad? If so .. then unfortunately it's not possible -- JDK does not support it (maybe in v9). https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-81013 — LazyOne, Sep 24 '14 at 22:25

Have you tried holding SHIFT + mouse scrolling?

I tested it from version 8.0.3 up to 9.0.2 and it works just fine.

Bonus hint:
This feature is actually pretty standard on many programs. Even on you browser, if you zoom-in right now so that the horizontal scroll bar appears, and try to scroll while holding SHIFT, it will side scroll.

@karim_fci On Windows, check your mouse settings. – Prinsig Sep 22 '15 at 14:17

On this website, no, since it's too responsively built :D – Streching my competence Nov 04 '18 at 13:16

Unfortunately it's not possible to perform horizontal scroll with mouse (mouse wheel) or pads -- JDK does not support it (maybe in v9).

In my particular case it was that I was running autohotkey which had something bound to shift... So phpstorm couldn't pick up on it.
