Mouse Wheel Scroll for Menus

I just discovered SyMenu and it is amazingly powerful. I am already replacing my prior apps suites (Portable Apps and LiberKey) with this one.
The only issue I have with it is that I am not able to scroll the long lists of programs in SyMenu's sub-menus (for containers) using the mouse wheel (or even the page up/down or cursor arrow keys)... I must click on the down or up arrows in the menu frame to scroll (while Portable Apps and LiberKey menus allow for wheel scrolling: this is the one advantage they have).
Have I missed something? I did read the manual and could only find a horizontal scrolling option (for long descriptions)... nothing on vertical scrolling. Is there any way to allow for wheel scrolling through these context menus? It really is quite cumbersome having to click and hold on the arrows in the list box to navigate long lists of programs.
That said, a huge thank you to Gianluca for this extremely well thought out and highly functional utility. Well done!

I've never supported the mouse wheel so you can do nothing to workaround this issue but I will add this request in the TODO list. I hope to solve that in one of the next versions.
In the meanwhile you can organize your containers to have less programs inside. The scrolling is needed when you have a program list that can't be contained inside your screen. I don't think that such an organization could help you a lot in finding your preferred program. So you can split them up and work on hierarchical containers instead.

I did think about categorization, but I like to keep the NirSoft and SysInternals suites in containers without sub-containers (in fact, I found your menu system when I went to download the NirSoft suite)... too many hierarchies makes it difficult for me to locate apps, and while the Search function in SyMenu is phenomenal, most times I prefer to browse through the list. Hopefully, enabling the scroll wheel will not be a difficult mod. I do believe others would make use of it as well.
Thanks again for a great utility. You've clearly put a lot of time into this.

Another area where scrolling would come in handy is in the confirmation prompts--for instance, when removing several apps: currently, if the prompt runs off the bottom of the screen (because listing too many apps to fit), there is no way to see the bottom part of the window to click on Okay or Cancel, nor any way to scroll down to that area of the window.

This is my mistake. Already solved with the current beta version.

The mouse wheel is working great in the search area. Another vote for scrolling on all menus!
