Only allow scrolling when the cursor falls inside the inset frame.\n  - `Left Inset` - same as above for the left side.\n  - `Right Inset` - same as above for the right side.\n  - `Bottom Inset` - same as above for the bottom side.\n  - `Simulator Location` - the file path of the simulator, for `Launch Simulator on Startup`.\n  - `Simulator Check Frequency` - how often to check if the simulator is alive, for `Quit If Simulator Is Closed`.\n  - `Max Height` - the maximum height of the menu popover.\n  - `Menu Width` - the width of the menu popover.\n\n## Community\n\nAuthor | Contributing | Need Help?\n--- | --- | ---\nSquirrel is made by [aheze](https://github.com/aheze). | All contributions are welcome. Just [fork](https://github.com/aheze/Squirrel/fork) the repo, then make a pull request. | Open an [issue](https://github.com/aheze/Squirrel/issues) or join the [Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/Pmq8fYcus2). You can also ping me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/aheze0). Or read the source code — there's lots of comments.\n\n### How does it work?\n\nSquirrel uses your Mac's accessibility controls to simulate a \"drag\" gesture.\n\n### Apple, if you're reading this:\n\nPlease add native scroll support to the Simulator! Feels like such a small feature but it'll be very welcome.\n\n## License\n\n```text\nMIT License\n\nCopyright (c) 2023 A.
