This PR is in relation to Enhancement (issue #210). Examples below of behavior with scrollbars enabled/disabled: Here are a few examples with just the scrollbars turned off Console (note the text is cut off on the bottom of the terminal): 
Debian Trixie - KDE Plasma (this desktop isn't as bad as others about having important controls in the corner of the window: 
And here is an example with scrollbars turned on, but zoomed all the way out:

The scrollbars interfere with window sizing and cause content to be cut off, especially on HiDPI displays and newer macOS versions (26.x). The NSScrollView is still needed for magnification/zoom support, but the scrollbars themselves are not necessary for normal operation. Changes: - Set hasVerticalScroller = NO - Set hasHorizontalScroller = NO - Set autohidesScrollers = YES (for any edge cases) This fixes the issue where the VZ window shows scrollbars that cut off approximately 16px of content in each direction.

When zoom mode is enabled, scrollbars now appear and support mouse wheel zooming with Cmd+scroll or Opt+scroll. When zoom is disabled, scrollbars are hidden and the view fits the window. This makes zoom functional on devices without trackpads.

Scrollbars currently occlude ~16px on each edge, making taskbars in Linux desktop environments unusable.
This disables scrollbars by default and adds scroll wheel zoom. Scrollbars re-enable automatically when zoomed.
hasVerticalScroller / hasHorizontalScroller = NO:
Makes desktop taskbars fully accessible. NSScrollView remains for magnification support.
Scroll wheel zoom (Cmd+scroll / Opt+scroll):
Adjusts NSScrollView magnification. Useful on devices without trackpad pinch-zoom.
Dynamic scrollbar management:
Also included:
.gitignore for example binaries
Tested with gui-linux example running Debian.
