cursor: add scroll wheel support for window cycle
When cycle mode is active (Alt+Tab held), scrolling the mouse wheel cycles through windows. Scroll down advances to the next window, scroll up goes to the previous window. This uses the same LAB_CYCLE_DIR_FORWARD/BACKWARD constants as the keyboard handler, ensuring consistent navigation behavior. No configuration needed - always active during cycle mode.

# Scroll Wheel Support for Window Cycle (Alt+Tab)
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Add mouse scroll wheel support to the Alt+Tab window switcher. When cycle mode is active (Alt+Tab held), scrolling the mouse wheel cycles through windows — scroll down for next, scroll up for previous.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press and hold **Alt+Tab** to enter cycle mode
|
||||
2. **Scroll wheel down** → cycle to the next window
|
||||
3. **Scroll wheel up** → cycle to the previous window
|
||||
4. Release **Alt** to focus the selected window
|
||||
|
||||
No configuration needed — this behavior is always active during cycle mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Details
|
||||
|
||||
The patch intercepts `WL_POINTER_AXIS_VERTICAL_SCROLL` events in `handle_axis()` when `server.input_mode == LAB_INPUT_STATE_CYCLE`. It maps:
|
||||
|
||||
- Negative delta (scroll up) → `LAB_CYCLE_DIR_BACKWARD`
|
||||
- Positive delta (scroll down) → `LAB_CYCLE_DIR_FORWARD`
|
||||
|
||||
These are the same direction constants used by the keyboard handler (`handle_cycle_view_key()` in `keyboard.c`), ensuring consistent behavior between keyboard and mouse navigation.
|
||||
|
||||
The event is consumed (not forwarded to clients or processed as mouse bindings) when cycle mode is active.
