When using a Bluetooth mouse with the mobile app on Android, the text should scroll with the mouse's scroll-wheel

don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to have connected mouse/trackpad on iPad act more like mouse/trackpad on the desktop in terms of text selection/etc.

Love logos.
Please make the app work with a mouse - esp the scroll wheels.

Thank you!

I would love to have scroll wheel support in the app. Especially since I use my samsung s7 tablet in Dex mode a lot.

Hi Josh, I am able to scroll through the text on my mouse's scroll-wheel on my iPad. What OS are you using? Consider adding a few more details into your post for others to better understand when voting.

@Ali Pope Thanks Ali! I've tried this on Android 10 and 11 with a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech and one from Microsoft.

@Josh Levy Would you be able to tell me what you are trying to scroll (ie. Factbook, Guides, Search or a resource)?

@Ali Pope Resources. I would like the scrollwheel to turn the page.

@Josh Levy Please try the following:
1. Disable Scrolling View by clicking on the kebab menu in the top right corner of the resource and toggling the Scrolling View off. This will put the resource into paging mode.
2. Use a horizontal paging gesture to turn the page.

We do not officially support the use of a bluetooth mouse on Android, but the above instructions have seemed to work for some users.
