Mouse wheels are a great invention. Instead of mouse1/mouse2 to scroll, you
use scroll_up/scroll_down, nothing is more intuitive than that.
And at least with QT, you can use that on a horizontal scrollbar, too, if
you place the mouse cursor over it.
Some mice offer a real button instead of the wheel (I like this even
better).

And since this is about a text editor: PgUp/PgDown exist ;)
