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.
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.

Wow thanks. Was missing that for a long time.
Didn’t realize this was a Firefox setting! “Use autoscrolling” was what worked for me
yup, now that I think of it again, I think smooth scrolling is something different, autoscrolling is what I meant
Having that on Firefox is already quite the game changer. I just had no idea it was there. Thanks.
