From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Help request (KDE Plasma): Disable vertical scroll bars while in touch screen mode (lemmy.ml)

Title pretty much states what I'm looking to do.

For more clarity though: When I'm trying to take notes on a PDF or something with a stylus the edge of my hand often rests on the screen hitting the scroll bar and jumping me to a different part of the document.

When I'm in touch mode I usually will just use a finger in the middle of the page to scroll the document rather than the scroll bar.

is there a way to implement this specific behavior (disabling scroll bars while in touch mode)?

I looked around some and all I could find was hiding the scroll bars (which is already enabled).

Thanks in advance for the time and thought into this matter.
