Package: midori Version: 0.4.0-2 Severity: wishlist Hello!
Galeon (which I currently use as my main web browser) has a feature that I really miss in Midori. In Galeon preferences, "Mouse" section, I can set "automatic scroll" as middle button action. This means that, when I click on a web page with the middle mouse button, I get an four-arrowed cross that I can move away from a circle in order to scroll the page in any 2D direction and with the desired speed. The direction is the one from the center of the circle to the center of the cross; the speed increases with the distance of the cross from the circle. Once the cross is placed somewhere off the center of the circle, the scrolling goes on automatically in a "hands-free" way. The scrolling changes direction and/or speed, as I move the cross again; it stops when I click on the page again with the middle mouse button. This is very practical, since it can be used to scroll pages very quickly and in any direction, or to slowly scroll down a page while reading, and so forth. It would be very very nice to have this feature implemented in Midori. Please take into account that, among the web browsers I tried out, the only WebKit-based one which seems to have a feature that is very similar to Galeon's automatic scroll is Rekonq. Maybe it could be useful to take a look at how it is implemented there... You may also want to take a look at bug #640959, perhaps: in that wishlist bug I requested an equivalent feature for Chromium. Please forward this request upstream.
