[SOLVED] Can scroll wheel be adjusted in PM?

Unread post by ron_1 » 2015-04-01, 00:01

Evidently there is no Linux system-wide setting to adjust the scroll wheel on the mouse. Is there a way to adjust it within PM? One turn of the wheel does not move the page enough for me.

This is from FF docs, should be the same for PM:

Mousewheel.

about:config mousewheel.* settings:

These fall into two groups: vertical and horizontal scrolling. The general form is:

mousewheel.(modifier key).(type)
mousewheel.horizscroll.(modifier key).(type)

Modifier key is one of: withaltkey, withcontrolkey, withmetakey, withnokey, or withshiftkey

Type is then one of:

action
integer value that determines the type of action:

0 - Scroll document by a number of lines (given by the numlines property)
1 - Scroll document by one page
2 - Move back/forward in history
3 - Make text larger/smaller
4 - Scroll document by a number of pixels (given by the numlines property)

numlines
number of lines to scroll by if action is set to value 0, or pixels if action is set to value 4; otherwise, this value is ignored.
sysnumlines
use system preferences to determine how many lines to scroll by

For example, to change (vertical) mousewheel scrolling to one page at a time -- set mousewheel.withnokey.action to 1

I don't see an entry mousewheel.withnokey.settings. I read through all the entries; I thought I found the one I needed, mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount, but that didn't change it. :(

I got it now. I did have the right entry, mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount. I just didn't change the number high enough. For some reason though, it has no effect on the about:config page. :think:
