Hey guys! I'm a new Waveform user, came from Ableton, and on Ableton the tipical behaviour for scrolling in screen is to go left and right, and on waveform I couldn't find if I can change this. I'm Using the free version right now, thanks in advance!

Settings -> General -> Mouse. You'll see the Wheel option.
Give horizontal zoom a try though, it's different in waveform because it zooms on the mouse pointer not the playhead, so you can use it to navigate even better than scrolling (zoom out, then immediately zoom in on a spot). Also, the option to drag the playhead (track area drag) works great in conjunction with this since it scrolls as you drag. Deselect "clicking the background locates cursor" so that you can select clips more easily without the playhead moving (you can still locate the cursor with a slight drag or clicking the background).

Thanks for the response!! I just now realized seeing the options that I can also scroll horizontaly by dragging the right mouse button, so this works for me as well, I'll give also horizontal zoom a try as you said
