> middle click on window usually puts you in some sort of stupid alternate scroll mode It's just badly implemented there. Internet Explorer had a completely brain-dead implementation, and every embedded webview inherited that. Firefox always had a very nice implementation of middle-click scroll. It may sound silly, but this one of the major reasons I always hated chromium-based browsers — they do have it, but it's not nearly as nice (you can't, or at least couldn't easily scroll inside scrollable elements, the acceleration profile feels very weird, and other small things like that).
