Scrolling for toolbar buttons (and tab bar?) please

Opus toolbars are great, and pretty impressive. But they can still be improved.

When buttons do not fit on a toolbar, a small button appears on the right of a horizontal toolbar, or at the bottom of a vertical toolbar, or at the end of a list of dynamic buttons, which you can click in order to get to see the remaining part. That’s good.

But I do remember how some browsers with horizontal tabs allowed for horizontal scrolling through a long series of tabs (wider than the browser window) instead of having to click on some button at the end. You just had to move the mouse over the tabs location and use the scroll wheel to make the whole tab bar move left or right, which was very convenient. I don’t know why they do that anymore. But I think many of us would be very happy if Opus had an option to let toolbars behave that way for handling buttons that don’t fit on the toolbar.

And of course - needless to say - having the ability to scroll that way through a vertical toolbar would feel like “Opus on steroids” for anyone using them!

Ps. The tab bar could perhaps also be made to behave that way.
