Description Chris Lee 2005-12-09 23:14:50 UTC 
An auto-scroll feature for evince would be very useful for many things, like
reading a long document without having to press arrow keys to scroll it, or
displaying sheet music while playing a piano piece.
Comment 1 Chris Lee 2005-12-09 23:15:36 UTC 
For an example of the sort of auto-scroll I'm talking about, you can use
shift+up/down arrows in Konqueror on a web page.
Comment 2 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2005-12-10 00:10:29 UTC 
I prefer mozilla way of doing this more (with speed encoding by distance from
first mouse click)
Comment 3 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-11-04 20:05:10 UTC 
Just an idea: when the mouse cursor is moved "out of view" (eg. over the toolbar), the document is scrolled further (instead of stopping the scoll movement).

Patch to implement mouse-based autoscroll

A patch to implement autoscrolling the "mozilla way" with the mouse (As middle click is in use, I added an autoscroll option to the context menu).
