Feature request: Modify mouse wheel scroll delta to match Windows, and add Autoscroll

Open Yasand123 opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Recently Chromium had an update to increase the scroll delta (how many pixels the page will scroll per mouse wheel) to match Firefox, native Linux apps and also Windows. This applies to all Electron apps. Since Steam isn't an electron app or based on Chromium it needs to be done by the Steam developers themselves. Currently scrolling is very slow. Plus the fact that Autoscroll (middle click feature) is missing as well.

Same here, scroll speed is very low with mouse wheel on Steam client beta.

You can just wait till Valve updates their Steam chromium version (it happens I think every 3-6months or so) and it will be fixed automatically

What chromium version? I'm not aware of any different versions. Where do you get that from?

I didn't even know Steam utilized Chromium, I thought by "Steam chromium version" you meant a completely separate Steam client.

This is bugging me as well. It's so unpleasant to use the Steam Store in the client with that super low scroll speed, that I gave up on that and use my browser instead.

Hello, it looks like libcef has been bumped past the mentioned commit in the Steam client beta. Please retest.

~/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper_sniper_wrap.sh does not exist on Arch Linux, the entire debian-installation folder that is, not just the file. I created it anyway to test and it doesn't seem to be affecting anything.

@Yasand123 on arch the folder might be different. If you have Steam open, which folder/path do you see for your steamwebhelper? ps -efww | grep steamwebhelper

@rastla I should've just searched the file. Autoscrolling works after following your instructions. On Arch the file you need to edit is ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper_sniper_wrap.sh.

Feel free to close this issue since the feature request can be tracked here #11153
