by Sor Targol, 5 years agoExcellent extension! Not yet figured out whether it is possible to increase the distance around the text in which the left-scroll will not work. So far, I have to aim for a very long time before I can select the text. Also, it does not work quite correctly on pages with built-in maps (google maps, yandex maps e.t.c.) - left-scroll moves not only the map, but the entire page. I'm not sure if this can be fixed in the settings?

posted 5 years agoHello,
The left button scrolling is very hard to do right. The web is full of badly optimized pages so be careful if something stops working (like editing cells in web Excel/spread-sheets).
The text selection cannot be improved, but you can change the way you select the text - if you use "double click + drag" then the text selection will select whole words, not just letters. And triple-click usually selects whole block.
Using these two techniques should help you with text selection.
But I'm planning to improve the left button scrolling to be more compatible on web.
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

- Rated 5 out of 5by Spyrine, 17 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, 23 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 23 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.
