      Firefox has a feature of scrollclicking to activate autoscroll in the direction dictated by moving the cursor. Both hold and toggle is supported.
      Is it possible to get this functionality?

        @Wicke2d ,

        That feature doesn’t currently exist, so far as I know, but seems a good idea to me. See our “FAQ: Feature Request” for how and where to request it (remembering to check if it’s already requested)

          @PeterJones Made a request.
          And made a AHK script trying to replicate the behaviour. In case others see this and want to try it: https://files.catbox.moe/aekzjm.ahk

            I see your request #16056.

            As I had said, “check if it’s already requested” – it apparently had been, multiple times, and rejected every time; specifically, this request makes it obvious from the developer himself that it’s not going to happen.

              @PeterJones Oh, I had the autofilled is:open filter on when searching, oops.
              “This feature won’t be implemented.” OK. Just because? Seems like a good feature. I thought maybe there existed a plugin or something.

                @Wicke2d said in Is it possible to enable autoscroll? (Scrollclick):

                Just because?

                @xomx gave you the reason in the reply to your issue: the Scintilla library (used as the underlying editor component of Notepad++) doesn’t expose access to the middle-mouse-button click (ie, scrollwheel click on modern mouse architecture). Until they do, Notepad++ cannot know that the MMB was clicked in the text-editing components of Notepad++.
