It would be nice if there was an option to scroll only the predominant axis.
This is a standard feature of NSScrollView on macOS.
UX-wise you usually scroll vertically but of course on a trackpad deltaX will not be exactly zero, so it happens quite easily that the leftmost characters get clipped.

With predominant axis scrolling only the bigger delta gets applied, and mostly vertical scrolling is strictly just vertical without any stray x-position change.
