OK next problem. As I mentioned [here](https://community.keyboard.io/t/horizontal-mouse-scroll-doesnt-work/1723/4?u=jamadagni), it is found to be preferable to use `keyIsPressed` for the horizontal scroll at least and maybe some may prefer it for zooming too. But even if `keyIsPressed` is used, the macro fires only once and repeated horizontal scrolling is not seen and still requires the use of `handleKeyswitchEvent` only:

```auto
#define PRESS(X) handleKeyswitchEvent(X, Macros.row, Macros.col, keyState)

    case M_WHEEL_LEFT:
        if (keyIsPressed(keyState))
// return MACRODOWN(D(LeftShift), T(mouseScrollUp), U(LeftShift));
        {
            PRESS(Key_LeftShift); PRESS(Key_mouseScrollUp);
        }
        break;

    case M_WHEEL_RIGHT:
        if (keyIsPressed(keyState))
// return MACRODOWN(D(LeftShift), T(mouseScrollDn), U(LeftShift));
        {
            PRESS(Key_LeftShift); PRESS(Key_mouseScrollDn);
        }
        break;

```

I’m starting to wonder if it was worth trying to enable the use of mouse keys in macros (since there exists a non-problematic alternate solution)…
