On Windows, if you click MMB on some windows, your mouse cursor will turn into a little ↕️ icon, and then you can scroll by moving the mouse cursor up and down, with it going faster the further you drag away from the position it was originally at.
This is one (1) behaviour I miss from Windows. Hours upon hours of scroll-wheeling makes my joints quite tired.
But well. Linux is nothing if not customisable, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to recreate this behaviour on it.
I’m on KDE Plasma.
MMB is for quick-copy-paste and close-tab !!!
I thought that’s a firefox exclusive feature. in which other programs did you see it work?
MS word, Telegram, Notepad++.
for me it doesn’t work in telegram and notepad++, but does in word. this seems to be a program-specific feature though, not an os-specific one
In Firefox (and many forks of it) this is a setting in the app preferences, I think it is called “
smooth scrollingautoscrolling” or similar.In most other apps I do not think this is possible.
edited, thanks for correction below
Having that on Firefox is already quite the game changer. I just had no idea it was there. Thanks.
Didn’t realize this was a Firefox setting! “Use autoscrolling” was what worked for me
