@Stardust
Let that be a lesson for you -- we are vengeful & merciless. Muhahahahaha squawk! -

@Stardust Yippee
no, that's inadequate...Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you so much for posting this here; i never monitor the Russian subforum, so never saw that discussion.
Don't you think this is simply crazy? I do !! How many years have we wanted this, yet all along some arcane command was lying quietly awaiting us! Also, over all the years i have done online searches for a solution, that command option never arose at all. I can't believe this!
Thank you!!

enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll
It's NOT included here, which til now was my
bible
master reference for such commandline switches.

I am shocked too
How many years have we wanted this, yet all along some arcane command was lying quietly awaiting us!
The question is when this feature was introduced?
Also, over all the years i have done online searches for a solution, that command option never arose at all. I can't believe this!
They were hiding it from us!!!

@guigirl and I don't see such an option in
vivaldi://flagsI want to modify this setting within Vivaldi, instead of creating a custom shortcut with this option
enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll
Also maybe we should let Vivaldi team know about this, so they could include it in the Settings?
-
@Stardust Fine ... but i am happy for now [or forever?] just to get by with this;
firejail --blacklist=/Seagate -- /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/vivaldi-snapshot-cache --force-device-scale-factor=1 --debug-packed-apps --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

@Stardust I realised later that i had not shown the up-to-date launcher, so i've just edited my post to correct it.
So coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, innit?
-
I created a bug report to include this option into Vivaldi Settings or Vivaldi flags - VB-90618

@guigirl Actually it is, you just had to dig deeper
the MMB autoscroll "feature" exists for quite some time, it just didn't work for Linux, nice that if finally works
.Chrome "features" are separately listed here: https://niek.github.io/chrome-features/
/edit: wrong section

So, from your source [new info for me]:
--enable-features=MiddleClickAutoscrollvs my recently altered launcher [extract]:
--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscrollI am drafting this via Snappie atm, so after posting i shall relaunch V using "your" way rather than "my new" way, to test your bold claim...

@npro said in Middle-click Scrolling for Linux Version:

It does NOT work.
We still need to use this recently-revealed new way:
--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll -
@guigirl oh wait, you are right I marked the wrong section
, I'm gonna edit it
But indeed please do try
-
@npro Right, so now we can see that "your" way devolves in fact to being identical to the "new" way which herein & in the Russian thread got some of us very excited & happy in recent days.
Now if only i could also find these still-strangely-hidden features, i'd be able to return to Snappie as default instead of my Nightly:
--enable-blink-features=ProperTreeStyleTabs--enable-blink-features=StopBreakingMyBloodyPOSTSearchesFfs!

--enable-blink-features=FirefoxStyleAutoscrolling

So happy there's a solution now. Installed MX Linux yesterday and with
--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscrollargument it works exactly like on windows -
