Split from this issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503998 as per cwo's suggestion.

Autoscrolling / On-button-scrolling / "Hold middle click and move mouse to scroll" feature from the mouse settings menu needs an easy way to be toggled on and off via a global hotkey or Scroll Lock.
Having to enter the settings every time you want to switch it on/off is a pain. I propose to use the status of Scroll Lock (with an option to disable the default behaviour of Scroll Lock, which I doubt anyone uses anymore) to turn Autoscrolling on and off, or alternatively be able to bind a global hotkey to toggle it (with a popup like Capslock / input method switching has)
