+### .passive.false
+
+In modern browsers, `wheel` and `touchmove` event listeners are passive by default. Pass `.passive.false` to make these events cancelable, so that you can call `preventDefault` on them.
+
+```alpine
+<div @touchstart.passive.false="console.log($event.cancelable)">...</div>
+```
+
 ### .capture
 
 Add this modifier if you want to execute this listener in the event's capturing phase, e.g. before the event bubbles from the target element up the DOM.
