This is my use case:
I’m regularly browsing lists of hyperlinks to follow list items’ content in new browser tabs.
So, what I’m often doing is to middle click a hyperlink and immediately push the mouse away so I can continue my work using the keyboard without the mouse pointer being permanently in the way.
I’m a quick worker, so this is what happens when I’m either missing to hit a hyperlink or when a web designer decided it would be cute to show a Hand pointer on an element that’s not being a hyperlink:
See this screencast:
Desired situation
I want to continue to use auto-scroll for intentionally scrolling through a web page.
But I do not want scroll-lock to happen in any way, no matter how short I’m pressing the middle mouse button on a non-hyperlink element.
Please, add an additional option for permanently disabling scroll-lock when auto-scroll jumps in, so when the middle mouse button is released, scrolling always stops immediately.
