Linux: you've been using it for years and don't even know it

MS word, Telegram, Notepad++.

Exactly that. It acts like the hand tool in a pdf reader, mouse has to keep moving.

The Firefox one is enabled already. I don't do Chrome(ium) unless I absolutely have no choice.

.... But yeah I'd like to enable it for other applications. Dunno if it is possible though.

I actually have one of those Logi mice with unlockable scrollwheels

...... I only lock it for playing FPSes, to use the wheel to switch weapons. Otherwise it stays unlocked for minimal resistance.

Call it a reverse curb-cut effect, I first discovered it when I was a teenager, and back then I'd sometimes use it out of laziness or because it was quicker (ah how I miss being young and immune to pain)

Then when time happened and I started having arthritis flareups, it was there to help me, and I was like "heck, that's a neat thing for accessibility"

Eh?

I don't paste things as often as I scroll. Plus, my brain associates copying and pasting with the keyboard commands, from 20+ years of doing -- That.

Edit-to-answer-your-edit: My mouse has 7 buttons, I'm golden.

Not quite what I was hoping for... But it does help.

Having that on Firefox is already quite the game changer. I just had no idea it was there. Thanks.

 

On Windows, if you click MMB on some windows, your mouse cursor will turn into a little ↕️ icon, and then you can scroll by moving the mouse cursor up and down, with it going faster the further you drag away from the position it was originally at.

This is one (1) behaviour I miss from Windows. Hours upon hours of scroll-wheeling makes my joints quite tired.

But well. Linux is nothing if not customisable, so I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate this behaviour on it.

I'm on KDE Plasma.

Spoiler: they won't

but changing words is just virtue signalling that doesn’t do anything to make anything better for anyone

.... And if you are the type of neoliberal politician that wants to pretend they care about people while never actually doing anything to help anyone other than the megacorps when you get into power -- Then this is literally all you'll ever do for people. Linguistic fuckery. Making up new words for things. Fucking around with definitions. And you know that there will be an army of people who will defend this, and shoot down people who actually want to do something on grounds that they said the "wrong" words.

The argument for 'unhoused' is that it humanises the person -- But it's really pushing it.
