I've been trying to find a way to scroll the text horizontally with my scrollwheel in Eclipse, similar to the way you can do it in Textpad. In Textpad if you hold ctrl while you scroll vertically it will scroll horizontally. Does anybody know if there is a configurable setting somewhere in Eclipse that will allow this? I've looked all over the "keys" setting page without being able to find it, and Google/Stack Overflow searches haven't turned anything up for me.
Thanks.

Currently, Eclipse does not provide functionality to choose custom mouse scroll sensitivity in editors and views. Nevertheless, you can push CTRL key during the mouse scrolling in editors to scroll an entire screen at a time.
If you wish to make your mouse scroll horizontally Press SHIFT and then use the Middle mouse scroll wheel. This works if the page is large enough to be scrolled horizontally. You could see a scroll bar at the bottom. You could also press the middle mouse button once.
To enable horizontal scrolling, we can use the CSS property overflow-x. If we assign the value scroll to the overflow-x property of the container element, the browser will hide horizontally overflowing content and make it accessible via horizontal scrolling.
I guess this depends more on your OS than on Eclipse. For instance on Mac OS it's Shift + Scrolling.
