Remove mouse events on Mouse.clearSourceEvents about matter-js HOT 4 CLOSED

Well, the purpose of clearSourceEvents isn't to remove event bindings it's only for clearing the previously captured event objects.

So it seems what you are looking for should be a new function, but I'm not sure how useful it will be for most people.

Is there a reason you need to remove the event bindings?

Basically the mouse.element can be any element, and by default, the body

mouse.element = element || document.body;

If you don't remove the events, for instance the mouse.mousewheel function prevents the default behavior and will be still executed:

mouse.mousewheel = function(event) {
      mouse.wheelDelta = Math.max(-1, Math.min(1, event.wheelDelta || -event.detail));
      event.preventDefault();
 };

So you can't use the mouse wheel even after the engine has been cleaned :(

Well, currently I don't see this as a very common use case. I think if you need this it's quite easy to use your own external function like the one you provided? But if more people request this then I'll look into including it in the lib, cheers.

Can enable or disable EventListener (mousewheel ) would be very helpful.
