EDIT: My initial issue was apparently being caused by external software, preventing mouse scrolling to work as it should. The following post assumed it was on GMS2 end. (The other edit still stands though)
For those wondering what fixed my issue. In x-mouse button control, disable the option:
"Make scroll wheel scroll window under cursor" in settings.
I use the zoom function. Definitely not in the actual workspace (at least not often).
I, more often than not, use scrolling with the mouse. Problem is, the mouse wheel functionality is global across EVERYTHING.
This isn't inherently bad, but I use the mouse wheel for different things depending on the tool. So swapping between the two through preferences isn't ideal. At all.
So instead of using control+mouse wheel, I propose having both scrolling and zooming be available at all times. One is available without holding control, the other is. This just kind of makes senses to me. This way, I can zoom in with the sprite and room editor, and scroll in the workspace.
EDIT: While I'm at it, perhaps a hotkey to quickly hide the side bars? (things like the resources and compile messages)
I'd imagine that would be something like the direction keys+control+alt or something.
