Horizontal scrolling on Mac OS X

Horizontal scrolling on Mac OS X
Mac OS X nowadays supports horizontal scrolling with gestures on trackpads and the Magic Mouse. It would be nice if ELAN could support this to make navigating through a transcription easier. I suspect that some users would like to be able to turn it off, so there should be a preference to enable/disable it.
Re: Horizontal scrolling on Mac OS X
Understandably, but not that easy to achieve. ELAN tries to be a cross platform application written in the Java programming language. This trackpad and magic mouse behaviour is quite specific. And although it is acceptable to add some platform specific functionality here and there, support for this kind of navigation would need fairly drastic changes for the components it applies to, if at all possible.
(To my knowledge Java has no built in support for this kind of navigation and we would have to implement a connection to the lower level system events ourselves.)
