Customize the mouse wheel scrolling speed...

TsunamiZ

Please add an option to let us customize the mouse wheel scrolling speed in Vivaldi. I know we can do this via our OS but I prefer to customize it specifically for Vivaldi, without affecting other programs.

[bug reported VB-49706]

Yes, please!
I just installed Vivaldi on ubuntu and the scrolling is too slow to be usable. I have to click the bar on the right side
of the window and drag it up and down to be able to scroll webpages. Very frustrating!

It is not possible to adjust this in the OS on ubuntu (that I know of) so this makes using Vivaldi a frustrating experience.
In Firefox I can adjust this easily by going to about:config and adjust mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount and similar settings to set the mouse wheel scrolling to a pleasurable setting.

Use the extension Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller and forget about it:

@tsunamiz , you can adjust the speed in the mouse settings of the OS itself.
It lacks only to adjust the smoothness of scrolling. It can be activated in Vivaldi in flags.

vivaldi://flags/#smooth-scrolling

and

vivaldi://flags/#percent-based-scrolling

@catweazle Tnx, but for Linux doesn't work at all... (at least in my case of KDE). I would like to have an option as in Firefox to adjust the speed by my hand... without the usage of some extra extensions.

Catweazle

@coronium, that are not extensions, flags are intern functions of vivaldi. Put these codes in the adress bar an push Enter to access them.
Smooth scroll should be activated by default, but not so the percent based scrolling, activate it and restart Vivaldi.

More speed you have in the mouse settings of the OS, also in Linux.

@catweazle Yes, I know that flags aren't extensions. However, that flag-adjustment doesn't work very well in KDE, therefore I use "Linux Scroll Speed Fix" extension. The problem with the extension is that on some pages the scrolling is "stuttering" and not good as well.

Catweazle

@coronium , yes I know that most smooth scroll extensions don't work well in Vivaldi, the only one which works as it should is the Chromium wheel smooth scroller, but it's closed source from Chrome developers.
