Fast scrolling in Firefox
08.03.2024I use KDE Plasma on all my desktop and laptop computers which has the very handy feature of scrolling faster when the Shift key is held. Of course this only works in Qt software and that excludes Firefox for example. This missing feature has always bugged me because it's in my muscle memory from almost all other software that I use. Luckily, it's easy to add back.
- Open a new tab, type
about:config
and press enter. - Search for
shift
in the search bar at the top. - Double click
mousewheel.with_shift.action
and set it to1
(i.e. vertical scrolling). - Double click
mousewheel.with_shift.delta_multiplier_y
and set it to800
. You can play around with this value and set the scroll speed multiplier to your desired value. I found800
to be the right speed for my taste.
My source for this information has been a post on /r/firefox by /u/panoptigram. But since I don't trust Reddit anymore to keep information available, I figured it would be a good idea to archive that nifty tip here.
Have fun scrolling!
