Sam's suggestion is interesting particularly because it solves the problem I have of accidentally entering autoscroll mode (by mistakingly middle-clicking on something which is not a link or just besides one) and the page moving a lot from where I was (because the scrolling is also very sensitive to slight movements).
Ideally though, I'd really really like an option to turn the whole thing off. - Itai On Feb 4, 2:58 am, Rahul Pawa <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmm, I guess that could be implemented in addition to > auto-scrolling...though I find it cumbersome compared for long pages > compared to auto-scrolling. > > > > > > On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 11:46 PM, Sam <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Oh how embarrassing.
