by graz, 4 years agoHey man, I love this extension and get quite a bit of use out of it. I just have one question maybe you can help me with if you have a minute.
Under the 'Advanced' tab of the preferences page for ScrollAnywhere is a 'Prevent big jumps' checkbox which says "If you are using tool that can teleport your cursor across the screen...".
Assuming I'm correctly understanding what that means, my question is if you know of what specific tool I would need to get in order to facilitate this? Would it be an extension, or is there perhaps some about:config setting in Firefox itself which easily enables that kind of functionality?
Sorry if it's a really obvious answer, but I'm finding it really hard to word my Google queries in a way that it understands what I'm trying to ask.
Thanks again, and thank you for making this really great piece of software. The preferences menu in particular is super intuitive and easy to understand while still being really powerful. Mad respect to you :)

posted 4 years agoHello,
It was some king of "infinite scroll" software...
Oh, I found the email from the user that requested it, he mentioned this:
https://www.ghacks.net/2020/04/06/customize-the-mouse-pointers-movement-and-behavior-with-winmouse/
But I'm not using it myself, I'm not even sure if I tried it :)
Anyway, I hope this helps!
Have a nice week :)
Best Regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Spyrine, 13 days agoThis extension is an incredible life-saver for a very specific issue on Linux. I have a touchscreen laptop running Fedora in the GNOME desktop environment, and a known issue in this setup is that digital styluses and pens will not scroll by default on any app by dragging the tip, and it will select text instead. Scrolling is the default behavior on Windows (or easily enabled through Windows Ink / tablet drivers) and my laptop's stylus was experiencing this issue when I used it on its integrated touchscreen.
Enabling all the Left Button settings on the extension completely resolved the issue, and I can still double click on my stylus or hold Ctrl (both of these also settings in the extension) to select text as usual. I mainly use this laptop for college almost exclusively on Firefox, and I can finally use tablet mode, scroll through my textbooks, and take hand-written notes without issue. 100% recommend - Rated 5 out of 5by andrykyt, 20 days agoaddon features is very nice, I've been a fan of this addon over 10 years (maybe?)
as Japanese translation is very bad, please consider to have an option of UI languages. English option menus are more readable for me.Developer response
posted 20 days agoThank you :),
Yes, the addon will be 10 years old this November, I will probably write some blog post about my journey as addon developer, since this was my very first addon.
The Japanese translation is indeed terrible and will be removed along with other languages in the upcoming release. I made a huge mistake and did a (poor) machine translation as experiment, I'm sorry about that.
I will try to release it in a near future.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Camilo, 7 months agoI was looking for something that prevents page jumps during infinite scroll while holding and dragging down the scrollbar button, but this extension cannot do this. I'm not saying it should do, but since 2 different AI models recommended me this extension to possibly solve my problem, I logging my experience here.
- Rated 5 out of 5by CroppedSh, 7 months agoThis addon is based AF. Perfect for using in a VM if fine scrolling with the wheel works terribly for some reason or other.
