Scroll speed in Linux

submitted by Gravi from self.Linux

Am using Arch Linux with KDE and XFCE, question is though, how the fuck do I change the scroll speed, because holy shit is it impossible to do so, I don't have scroll speed as an option in either GUIs and I've tried searching on how to do so, but holy shit did it only make my head hurt.

yes you have to get down and dirty if you just want to change scroll speed

Yeah well for now I've opted to just using a google chrome extension, it's much rougher but at least something, I guess I just have to invest more time into this and try and filter it out later, thanks tho.

I've tested it and it works. I wish there was a more user-friendly method but if you follow the steps scrupulously you will be successful. You can also simply copy the code into a text file and save it as "mouse.sh". You can launch it from the terminal with "./mouse.sh" or execute it by simply clicking on the file. You can also have it automatically start up at each boot too.

Why would you do that? Arch and manjaro are fine as they are.

I want a faster scroll speed, it should be one of the basic things you are able to get or manipulate really.

So press a button on your mouse. Mine for that is called "DPI". I don't get the Dots per Inch context. But it works.

Or get a grip. On yourself.

That's not scroll speed, that's just pointer speed.

See: That is why i don't fumble around with stuff i don't understand.

The book i posted surely contains all the information you need. But you won't read it anyways now or will you ?

Are you some sort of shill or troll?

Do i look like i am ? Do i smell like i am ?

Actually i am flattered by the "problems" of yours.

Just type "forscher" into google translate and you will get a lot of wrong answers and still don't know WHAT i actually am. Hehe.

Honesty makes you a suspect now. That is why this system is totally fucked up.
