Suggestion for PDF Reader-Scrolling for touchpad

edited September 23, 2021
I noticed that when a PDF document is zoomed in, the horizontal scrolling sensitivity is the same as the vertical. This can be somewhat annoying when trying to scroll through a document vertically because it tends to veer off to the side a bit if I'm not perfectly scrolling.

I think an added delay to the horizontal scroll, and a preference for vertical scroll, would be nice when reading through zoomed in documents. Sort of like a 'sticky' vertical scroll. Thanks.

Edit: To rephrase, I think it would be helpful if 0, 90, 180, 270 degree scrolls were easier, especially on macos. Adding an axis lock after a certain amount of time once the scroll direction is recognized would be helpful. Something like what was implemented in libinput, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mdmayfield/libinput/-/commit/bb87a3d9e933eab34b6cb8d840095eb1e99e3f93.
