Scroll by moving mouse up/down and holding modifier key.

Setup/Preset Sharing

This is an example on how to use the new "Start Smooth Scroll" and "End Smooth Scroll" options. It shows a floating menu when holding CMD with scroll up and scroll down items that when hovered scroll the content under the cursor. You could also make the items invisible.

This is in response to this reddit question:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterTouchTool/comments/1qlydc1/is_this_achievable_in_btt/

Details on how this works:

  • The floating menus is configured to show centered at the mouse location
  • The floating menu is configured to ignore mouse clicks / mouse events
  • The menu items are set to trigger the "Start Smooth Scrolling" action on hover and trigger the "Stop Smoth Scrolling" action on hover end
  • The floating menu is shown and hidden by key sequences that trigger on command down and command up

I have a few questions:

  1. (I apologize, this might be obvious, but I'm new to presets!) How do I get this to universally work, and not just when switching to a preset? I wouldn't know how to save all that and it seems to me that I'd have to then duplicate all my button configurations in each preset.
  2. Can this be set up to "just work" without having to mouseover the "buttons" (Scroll Up/Scroll Down)?
  3. Can this also be setup to scroll in ANY direction? (I have a mouse that does not have horizontal scroll and I really need it!)

Thank you so much.

@dihakz there is a new auto scroll action that you can assign to any mouse button, that makes this easier

I’m a newbie… again, sorry! Can you tell me how I would implement it?
