Full thead detailing reasons and implementations in-depth:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/improvements-to-autoscrolling-middle-click-and-drag-to-scroll/34011/1
Autoscrolling is amazing, but unusable in its current implementation, because
it conflicts with any program that wants to use Middle Click for its own
purposes. Here are 3 things that can fix the situation. Ideally, all 3 should
be implemented for maximum effect.
-Configure the setting on a per-window basis.
There are already so many things you can configure on a per-window or
per-application basis in KDE, I was surprised this option wasn’t one of them.
-Make an easy way to switch it 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.
-Make it possible to rebind the hotkey that triggers Autoscrolling.
It doesn’t have to be middle click - give the users the option to rebind it to
anything they want. For example, a lot of (gaming) mice have additional buttons
that could serve the purpose perfectly.
