Disabling Pointer Events While Scrolling

[nicholas-codecov]

When developing a new feature, where every virtual element has a pointer event handler, we noticed the scrolling performance wasn't as smooth as we liked. A colleague pointed out to me that disabling pointer events while scrolling can help improve performance.

This functionality seems to be implemented in other virtualization libraries, but not in TanStack/virtual.

Is this something that has already been considered? The implementation we wrote wound up being straightforward.

If you think this would make sense I'd be happy to try open a PR.

As virtual is low level hook you can implement disabling pointer events while scrolling in component.

Thanks for quick reply, for folks who might not have the experience about this issue, would it make sense to add an example in the docs?

Thanks for your feedback! That’s a great idea. We’d be happy to accept a PR with an example that covers this issue. Let me know if you need any guidance on where to add the example!
