Description Noname Nope 2004-10-30 10:19:12 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.4.2 
OS:                Linux

With this patch you can click middle mouse button and then move mouse around to scroll page. Click middle button again to stop it.

To enable autoscrolling you should uncheck Konqueror->Settings->Configure Konqueror->Web Behavior->Middle click opens URL in selection.

p.s. other related wishes seems too old to reopen them, sorry if I'm wrong.

Patch looks binary incompatible, use KHTMLPartPrivate!

I felt free to to modify the patch. Now it's using KHTMLPartPrivate.

Comment 6 Stephan Binner 2004-12-29 14:48:41 UTC

There are some problems with the visual indication of this feature: The arrow cursor always shows arrows into all directions independent if there are horizontal/vertical scrollbars at all.

Second, for indication the mouse cursor is changed: There is no mark like in MS Windows or Firefox which shows your point of clicking so estimating distance/speed from it is difficult. And if you're eg over text and start this feature, the cursor will not change at all (text cursor stays). When you start it on free area you will get this indication but it will be lost when moving it and hovering cursor etc.

Any chance that this part can be approved? :-)

Committed a second version of the patch by Stefan so it will be in Beta 1.
May be refined until KDE 3.4 nevertheless (depending on feedback). :-)

Also is there anyway to vary the speed of the scroll?  In IE and firefox, the speed increases the farther away the cursor is from the marker.

Comment 10 Ron Bickers 2005-03-19 04:10:49 UTC

Glad to see this feature!

It varies with distance, but it's not nearly as fast as I'd like it.  I'd also like a little slower minimum; slow enough to read an article as it scrolls by.

To exit autoscroll, "escape" and mouse wheel movement would be nice additions.  Middle-mouse all too often happens on a link and then opens a page in a new tab.

Comment 11 Becheru Petru-Ioan 2005-06-06 16:49:44 UTC

The autoscroll should start even with "Middle click opens URL" ON but nothing selected ! Should I put this as new wish or this bug should be reopened ?
