Press 1. Autoscroll ✨just works✨, like on Windows.
Applications
3 lists every app it found. Space turns one on or off.
How it works
Chromium, Electron and CEF all have autoscroll built in, but it is off on Linux. One flag turns it on:
--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll
Setting that for every app by hand is a pain and breaks with updates, so this tool does it for you. New apps are picked up on their own. AppImages are covered too, without unpacking or starting them.
