SDL_HINT_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM(3)

💖 SDL_HINT_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_HINT_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM page, part of the SDL3 functions era, and no cap this one is short but iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_HINT_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM — a variable controlling whether SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL event values will have momentum on macOS. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM "SDL_MAC_SCROLL_MOMENTUM"

like, that's the whole thing, she's a one-liner define and she's thriving 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the variable can be set to the following values, and you literally just pick one:

• "0" — the mouse wheel events will have no momentum. this is the default, the chill one, the no-frills vibe 🍓
• "1" — the mouse wheel events will have momentum. the main character energy option, the flick-and-glide 😭

⚠️ lowkey important: this hint needs to be set before SDL_Init(). if you set it after, it's giving too late bestie, the vibe check already happened 🙈

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older, it's not her, she simply wasn't born yet 💀

and that's the whole page, fr fr 🫶
