Unless you're on Linux
I'm using arch btw, and it doesn't.
As an "arch btw" user, you should know, you need to configure your stuff yourself.
Otherwise, you're just an arch user.
KDE once made it easier with a GUI https://pointieststick.com/2024/07/05/this-week-in-kde-autoscrolling/
This should be coming in 6.2, I suppose. Until then, you can do it with libinput
I'm using arch btw for the meme. Wouldn't say I'm an Arch user though.
Fair enough, I'll do some testing. This specifically came about on a react based page in ff esr.
I see. When using X11, I was using
xinputto set MMB scrolling, but at that time, it had the problem of activating the MMB paste function, if I didn't click and hold properly.Over time, my habits changed and I kinda stopped using it. But maybe I'll try again once it comes in Plasma 6.2 (it's actually in beta rn)
Turns out I just had to enable the auto scroll option in Firefox itself. Looks like I never had it on in Windows before, but the OS took care of it there.
