Mouse scroll wheel setting?

[Yfrwlf]

Are there any plans to add a mouse scroll wheel adjustment to the mouse and touchpad settings section? That would be great!

Anyone know what the method is supposed to be going forward for adjusting mouse scroll wheel distance/speed in all applications? None of these settings are for scroll wheel distance/speed:

Code: Select all

$ xinput list-props 12
Device 'SINOWEALTH Game Mouse':

Modifying systemd-hwdb to give the mouse wheel a bigger MOUSE_WHEEL_CLICK_ANGLE isn't a solution, because it has a hard upper limit and is supposed to be for defining physical hardware on a lower level, while modifying things like scroll distance should be something that is done on a higher user space level like an Xorg configuration setting. KDE apparently has a mouse scroll wheel configuration option, but I've heard it only works in KDE apps, so must be a Qt setting rather than a mid-level solution that effects everything which is what is needed.

Does anyone know what the solution is supposed to be here going forward for peripheral configuration, and if it's xinput then why a scroll wheel speed setting is missing from my above config?

Mouse scroll wheel accel etc. settings have been conspicuously missing in Linux for many years. I'm afraid that I don't expect that to change any time soon if ever. Sorry but it's true.

Where should they be? That's the first step. Some users have reported settings for them in xinput list-props. Since "libinput" is in front of most all my mouse settings, I assume either libinput needs to define scroll wheel speed, or xinput does. Or, it's one of these, but I sort of doubt it:

Code: Select all

	libinput Scroll Methods Available (289):	0, 0, 1
	libinput Scroll Method Enabled (290):	0, 0, 0
	libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (291):	0, 0, 0

I've seen many attempted hacks on the subject but no real answers.
