by Sor Targol, 4 years agoExcellent extension! Not yet figured out whether it is possible to increase the distance around the text in which the left-scroll will not work. So far, I have to aim for a very long time before I can select the text. Also, it does not work quite correctly on pages with built-in maps (google maps, yandex maps e.t.c.) - left-scroll moves not only the map, but the entire page. I'm not sure if this can be fixed in the settings?

posted 4 years agoHello,
The left button scrolling is very hard to do right. The web is full of badly optimized pages so be careful if something stops working (like editing cells in web Excel/spread-sheets).
The text selection cannot be improved, but you can change the way you select the text - if you use "double click + drag" then the text selection will select whole words, not just letters. And triple-click usually selects whole block.
Using these two techniques should help you with text selection.
But I'm planning to improve the left button scrolling to be more compatible on web.
Best regards,
