There's another issue on the tracker that's pretty much the same thing.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Some apps (for instance VSCode) implement a fast-scroll when holding a specific key (
alt
). This functionality would be usefull across a lot of apps for power-users, and I believe this could be relatively easy to implement in PowerToys.I would like a "hold" key and a "toggle" key option, with a configurable key. The fast scroll should be configurable to allow for different scroll speeds.
Scenario when this would be used?
When navigating large documents, code, PDFs, websites, etc.
Many tasks require large amounts of scrolling, and a temporary faster scroll speed can be very useful to scan a document before returning to normal speed when reading detailed sections.
Supporting information
Some mouses already implement this in hardware, such as the "freewheel" functionality found in many products.
I think a lot of the benefit from a freewheel-scroll could be done with a common keyboard shortcut for power-users.
