Description Robin 2007-08-20 17:02:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I've come across a feature in Kopete that I use every day now. It's in Settings->Options->Behaviour->Use mouse navigation instead of scrollbars

It enables you to scroll by just moving your mouse across the window, and without the mouse wheel. This makes it act as if the whole window contains a lot more than what is displayed. With detailed view, i can now easily select the contact i want without scrolling.

Now, I (and some others, as i've seen on the 'net), would like that feature in KDE 4, in ALL applications, in other words, in the scrollbar widget. So you can right click on a scrollbar, popping up the context menu, and enable the feature on that one, in that application, so you can choose where you want it, and where not. ALSO, if you make it scroll both horizontally AND vertically, you could practically have a little desktop in a little window.

Would be handy in amarok also.
