Hello,
it woudl be nice if you woudl integrate system wide inertial sceolling to PowerToys until Windows finally support it.
Have a look here :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mwaccelerator/
It lets you scroll precide by one line or with fast speed, best of both worlds , try it !

Maybe an idea to combine with #84 and #134?

I have a MS Arc Mouse and (with the app made for it) I can set this. Touchpads also have this. But that's a hardware-based solution. Would be nice to have software-based, although, I hope those won't conflict...

I wish there would be a wired mouse with such kind of hardware inertia

@Jay-o-Way, they are similar but different. product itself may be the same but different features.

I know. Just thinking about a possible future power toy (like Teak UI was) that could combine the different things for mouse settings.

Irconically, scrolling is most tedious with a microsoft designer mouse:

The wheel is so smalland you literally scroll you fingers wound if you set scrolling to one line, to get precision.
If you set it higher you can scroll faster but without any control :)

So please Microsoft make it happen und give uns build in inertia scrolling.

I've previously used another utility called ScrollNavigator, which worked well pre-Win10 for defining per-app and highly customised accelerated scrolling, but doesn't work well/at all with Metro UI-based apps.

Only just tried MWAccelerator after seeing it mentioned on this thread. I'm impressed to finally find a substitute that works better with Win10, but I still find its behaviour unsatisfactory.

My criteria:

  • per-app scroll-rate customisability (by executable name or window handle)
  • minimum scroll-rate (global or per-app)-- MWAccelerator's 1 or 2-line starting rate is ridiculously pointless
  • acceleration strength customisability (global or per-app)

If these accelerated scrolling features were included with PowerToys, that's be fantastic

Maybe it could be under "mouse utilities"?

I just wish there was a way to entirely DISABLE smooth scrolling in Windows across Windows apps, which currently is not a thing at all. The setting in Edge only affects Edge and not like the Windows settings, or any other metro-style apps, which seemingly have smooth scrolling on no matter what :-(
