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 mouse settings there should be option “Press middle button and move mouse to scroll”
Not quite what I was hoping for… But it does help.
Not trying to be a dick, but how is it different? From your description of what you were missing it sounds like exactly the same thing.
Without having tried that setting myself, I’m assuming that you have to keep moving the mouse to scroll, instead of just slightly moving the mouse once in a direction.
Ah, gotcha, makes sense.
So, it acts like a hand tool from pdf readers?
Exactly that. It acts like the hand tool in a pdf reader, mouse has to keep moving.
