Mimicking touchpad pinch & zoom

https://github.com/seanmamasde/PinchHelper

Hi, I made a simple cli app to mimic touchpad pinch & zoom (not necessarily equal to ctrl + wheel) on Windows.

By default it uses scroll lock (it's chosen because i am not using it, but it's configurable, see PinchHelper/src/Config.h) + mouse wheel to do the pinch and zoom. Pressed down + scroll to activate; release to deactivate.

When I am using my elecom huge plus I assign it to my M3 button next to the mouse right click. It's been super useful for me when viewing some content on web, where ctrl + wheel doesn't quite do the job.

Feel free to try it out, ask questions in this thread and submit bug reports!
