Guide Scroll in Linux the same way you do in Windows

[w_G]

There is a simple way to make the middle mouse button (the scroll) work in a similar way like it works in Windows OS. First create a bash script called middle_clicl_to_scroll.sh

nano ~/.config/autostart/middle_click_to_scroll.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Get device IDs of all devices containing "pointer"
pointer_ids=($(xinput list | grep pointer | perl -p -e 's@.*?id=(\d+).*@\1@'))

for pointer_id in "${pointer_ids[@]}"; do
  # If the pointer supports scroll method, set middle click to scroll
  if xinput list-props "$pointer_id" | grep 'Scroll Method Enabled' &>/dev/null; then
    xinput set-prop "$pointer_id" 'libinput Scroll Method Enabled' 0 0 1
  fi
done

Most people use this and it's OK. It works while holding the scroll button and pushing the mouse up and down. You can save this script inside your autostart folder. In Kubuntu this is /home/username/.config/autostart/

I also modified the script a bit and made the installation a user friendly process. I'll share it here later.
