How to use the Scroll Wheel for Interactive Scaling?

Hi, it's probably a trivial question, but I couldn't find an answer yet:

In the documentation for the "Interactive Scaling" it says: "The Scroll Wheel of your system can also be used for Interactive Scaling."

If I understand this correctly, I can use the scroll wheel of my mouse to expand/compress the vertical axis, right?
But how exactly can I do this?

I already know that I can expand/compress the horizontal (time) axis (i.e. changing the bar spacing) by holding down the Shift key and using the mouse wheel.
I also know that i can expand/compress the vertical (price) axis by holding down the CTRL key and left click + move the mouse.

But how exactly can I expand/compress the vertical (price) axis with the scroll wheel of my mouse?

Refer to the following setting that controls what the scroll wheel does:
General Settings Window: Scroll Wheel Setting (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Scroll)

Thanks for your quick reply John!

I already read that section (and also tried all 7 available settings) but there doesn't seem to be any option to adjust the interactive scaling of the vertical (price) axis with the mouse wheel.
It seems that I can only use the mouse wheel to scroll the vertical axis, but not expand/compress it.

Is it correct that the scaling (expanding/compressing the axis) via the mouse wheel only works for the horizontal (but not the vertical) axis? Or am I missing something?

We looked into this. In this particular case, the Scroll Wheel only moves the vertical scale up and down. It does not perform an expand or compress (Interactive Scale Range).

We will update the documentation regarding this.

hi there, can there be an option or shortcut (maybe by holding ALT?) to adjust the veritable price expansion/compression/

I just picked up an HP430 Wireless Keypad and want to assign buttons for Interactive Scale Range +- for the active chart window. I found an option for decrease bar width and increase bar width, but not increase bar height or decrease bar height. Is that a thing that can be assigned?

There are no Keyboard Shortcuts for changing the vertical scale range.
