07/28/2025, 3:24 PMI am using some CMP UI I had written for Android and iOS to JVM/Desktop. This includes a view where I have both horizontal and vertical scrolling. Since desktop does not appear to support dragging with mouse at all, I need to use mouse wheel for vertical scroll. And I expect to add arrows to do the horizontal scrolling.
Question is: how can I detect I am in an environment that requires this scrolling via button versus scrolling with drag? Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

You can just put your desktop code in a desktopMain source-set…
