How it works

Chromium, Electron and CEF all have autoscroll built in, but it is off on Linux. One flag turns it on:

--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

Setting that for every app by hand is a pain and breaks with updates, so this tool does it for you. New apps are picked up on their own. AppImages are covered too, without unpacking or starting them.

Commands

… enable	Turn on

… list	All apps and how they are handled

Build from source
