Add a Command to Scroll by a User-defined Number of Lines

[Seasonly]

@Nova1112
Thanks a lot for the video, it runs here, but it didn't from google +... I've tried to scroll the same page as yours into my current firefox and vivaldi. Well, according to every potential different parameters (like zoom, screen resolution...) it seems that I've had a bit longer scroll with mouse gesture.

The main problem for you is the mousewheel scroll is so much short, and the page down version so much long ?
Finally the thread is dealing with scroll length, either allowing changing scroll parameters by users (which it is into mouse gesture common extension), or getting a finer page down animation which could be then a compromise. A third solution would be a no parameterable new mouse gesture which could be set with a shorter scroll value than the current equivalent page down gesture.

I understand the improvment for page down mouse gesture that's the clearer meaning of your first message that's why I vote it ; why not making parametable some mouse gesture, but this could concern more than scrolling gesture (also zooming, manipulating path...), and should open a new special thread according to me, if it doesn't already exist. It would be a large projet. A quicker solution would be then to make a new intermediate scrolling mouse gesture but I don't know if I would prefer this solution to the mousewheel even if this last one has not a large scroll : for me i need to test this solution.
But currently I am satisfied with mousewheel + mouse page down gesture with animation (not this from the current vivaldi) + middle mouse click heavy solution.

I've tested myself about this checkbox into settings. I think there is a bug because the effect is clearly visible with keyboard page down/up, but it doesn't with the equivalent mouse gesture which seems indeed to be not concerned

@Seasonly The main problem in my opinion is the fact that in the "Pick a Command" (Tools > Settings > Mouse > + (New gesture) > Pick a Command) only four commands are available for page scrolling (Scroll Page to Top/Bottom and Page Up/Down).

There is definitely no command to conveniently page scrolling by the Mouse Gesture which replacing using the Mouse Wheel. Certainly not only I scroll the pages using the mouse gestures

How to do it? I do not know. I proposed two solutions (add the Mouse Wheel effect to the Mouse Gestures or add the effect of Smooth Animations to "Page up / Page down")...

You know what, maybe just add to "Pick a Command" Page Scrolling option for any number of lines (that the user can define). It would probably be the best of all solutions

@Nova1112 Opera 12.18, one can already assign mouse gestures or keyboard shortcuts to Scroll Up/Down.

However, I prefer to use these two precious gestures for Home/End or in Vivaldi to Scroll Page to Top/Bottom.

Opera 12.18 also has a command call "Override Scroll is Pan."

I already assigned GestureDown, GestureUp, GestureDown to this. After executing this gesture, one can simply grab the page with the left mouse button and drag it up or down. It is easier than using the thumb on the scrollbar, and works in the opposite direction, i.e. drag down is scroll down, and drag up is scroll up.

@Pesala The function proposed by you would also be very comfortable and I think that I would use it myself.

However, I do not change my mind and remains at the request to realize this:

Add to "Pick a Command" Page Scrolling option for any number of lines (that the user can define).

@Pesala Why did you change the title of this topic? I think that:

Add to "Pick a Command" Page Scrolling option for any number of lines (that the user can define).

Better reflected my idea ...

@Nova1112 The rule for this forum is:

• Choose a clear and concise title for the topic and describe the feature in more detail in the body of the post.

[Nova1112]

@Pesala Ok, everything is clear, thank you for clarifying the topic name and explanation on the private message

I thought you were sabotaging my great idea

Adding my +1 to this feature request. Here's my forum thread where I was inquiring whether the setting existed and just couldn't find it. Turns out it's a missing feature.

I would definitely use this if it were available as a keyboard shortcut, too, and for left/right scrolling as well. Currently there are PgUp/PgDn keyboard shortcut commands available, but I'd like to use j to scroll up, k to scroll down, h to scroll left, and l to scroll right (this matches scrolling behavior from vi/vim).
