Hi when I click the middle mouse button I get the scroll lock like normal but id like to know if I could make it similar to google chrome where you have to hold down the middle mouse button and also is there a way I can make the scroll lock icon follow the mouse cursor?

HI Nick, do you mean in Chrome, instead of clicking once to start Autoscroll and once to stop Autoscroll, you preferred to keep holding the wheel (middle button) down?

Actually, that seems to work in Firefox, too. I had no idea!

But I don't think there is a way to have the little widget move from the spot on the screen where you clicked. Is that what you meant?

Is there a way i can disable the click once to autoscroll and only have autoscroll enabled while holding?

I am not aware of a way to do that.
