SUMMARY I appreciate the effort on the MR made for adding autoscroll, but I can't deny it's pretty uncomfortable to have to hold press the middle-click to still scroll, the reason why many people use autoscroll is they don't want to be touching their wheel button. I understand that the original reason why it was implemented in such a way was because there is a lot of users using the middle button as a paste button, which is why I propose adding another setting to decide what the user prefers for autoscrolling.
This is unfortunately something that the Libinput driver itself would have to support.
It is already supported by libinput though: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/api/group__config.html#ga3bbcd5f1201289dc50f965ef46c4ddea
Oh OK, then I guess we can do it! Thanks for setting me right.
