About this extension

Scroll Anywhere enables you to drag scrollbar with your middle (or right / left) mouse button without actually touching a scrollbar. Just hold the middle mouse button and move up-down or left-right. You can also change the behavior to simple "grab and drag" style.

Be aware:

left mouse button support is experimental feature - please report any issues to my support e-mail.
Linux users may want to enable "Don't block default button action" option in Options/Advanced - to enable 'Paste' with middle button again.
in some Linux versions you may need to disable "middlemouse.contentLoadURL" in "about:config" to avoid navigating to URL from clipboard when pressing middle mouse button

Release notes for 8.4

- added simplified Chinese translations (thank you Jerry!)
- scrolling with left mouse button inside "ShadowRoot" is now blocked - for example when using Swift Selection Search addon
- improved Momentum algorithm - this should yield better results with less bugs (like sudden huge jumps)
- added loading of Managed storage - now the Kiosk owners can load default settings. More info here: https://github.com/fastaddons/ScrollAnywhere/issues/8

- pressing ESC key will now cancel current scrolling - moving the page back to where scrolling started (todo: doesn't work well in iframes)
- added Scrolling Area feature (Options page / Advanced) - it's the same as when dragging a scrollbar - if you move your cursor in other axis too much, it will revert the scrolling position
