I really missed scroll acceleration when switching over from Mac to Linux. Scrolling long web pages or big source code files was so annoying. And just increasing the scroll speed is also not useful, as I still want to have the possibility to only scroll a little bit (pixel by pixel) when I want to. So I really want the dynamic acceleration.
This simple tool just implements that in user space, by injecting further scroll events.
Later I tested it also on Mac, where it would just increase the acceleration. And after getting used to it, I really like the increased acceleration.
There is also a long discussion for libinput on adding mouse wheel acceleration: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/7 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/7
- rbreaves 5y agoI am actually not often bothered by the scroll of a wheel or touchpad on any OS, but I do often need to crank things up on all of them, especially on Windows. I need sensitivity. I am also the author of https://kinto.sh https://kinto.sh so if you want some good mac style keybinds it'll have you covered.
