From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use auto scroll a lot, middle click paste is generally an immediate no for me.
How do middle-click-to-paste and middle-click-to-scroll conflict? In Firefox I can click-to-paste if the cursor is over an input field and click-to-scroll anywhere else. Never had any problem with this behavior.
Some of us are clumsy.
That's not something I thought about. Good thing that you can disable the feature then
How did you setup auto scroll? It doesn't work for me.
You can't in most apps but Firefox allows it. It requires an app to specifically enable the behavior instead. It's terrible.
