Full thead detailing reasons and implementations in-depth: https://discuss.kde.org/t/improvements-to-autoscrolling-middle-click-and-drag-to-scroll/34011/1 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)
