Changing liner skips

#1 Post by kdeman »

OK I know nobody has asked this stupid question. My mouse rolls or scrolls 3 lines each click of the wheel (5 in this forum). Can I change that?
I want to scroll one line at a time.

If your using firefox you can set it there.
URL = about:config

then search for

Code: Select all

mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount

There is also a multiplier which I changed to 75 and helped alot. Same location, search for

Code: Select all

mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y
