I remember using some X11 windowmanager way back with desktop resolution higher then the the monitor. If you put the cursor on an edge it would scroll over.

It was surprisingly nice but in retrospect a bit too mouse heavy.

I've since gone over to tiling. Sway in particular.

My fvwm2 setup is like that (the config line "DeskTopSize 3x3" does the trick) plus keybindings to jump the cursor a half or a whole screen so I don't usually need to touch the mouse while navigating around (focus follows mouse is essential to this).
I was thinking about switching to Ian Jackson's wm of choice, vtwm [1], but the fact that fvwm has even that it's incredible.

FVWM is truly the living bible of window management.
