Love the plugin. I really like the lerp on lenis option but it is quite annoying that the mousescroll does not work when inside the oxygen builder editor. I have to use the scrollbar because it doesnt work inside or have to disable the plugin while working. Hope you can fix this too. For now I am using gblazek one.

This plugin works awesome. And the wide range of settings is very cool!What a pity that it does not work in FF. FF is a very important browser in germany. :/Perhaps you’ll find a solution for this issue… …
