   This is what I’ve been looking for for a long time!

   Found a few problems though:

   * If I set right mouse button for scrolling, the right-click menu won’t show any longer. Right button scrolling is a habit from many years of using [another well-known mouse scroller app that doesn't work in Chrome], so I’m not prepared to use left or middle button instead.
   * Scrolling doesn’t start if the cursor is above text or an image.
   * Even on the maximum speed setting, scrolling is still too slow for my liking.

   Oh, sorry, I just found a setting that will make it work over text and images (but right-click doesn’t work anyway).

   It still doesn’t work in some places though. I have just been to a forum powered by a Simple Machines engine, and scrolling doesn’t start if you click and drag inside someone’s comment or userpic. It does work on a comment header and footer and on user info though.

    Version 1.9 together with the SmoothScroll extension makes scrolling with the scroll wheel and keyboard less convenient.
    Could you please add an option for this extension not to affect how the keyboard and scroll wheel scrolling works and then I would probably not get these issues (they’re quite annoying, I need to uninstall either this or smoothscroll if you don’t fix this).
    Other than that, great extension, personal top three favorite!

    @Jakob
    Thanks for your insight!
    I added on/off option near by the No-scrollbars feature option.

    [version 1.10 change-log]
    Add on/off flag for keyboard naviagtion (and wheel mouse) in No-scrollbars mode(use with the SmoothScroll extension)

    Hi. I like this extension.
    But I have some troubles with it:
    1. I can’t use middle button. Default middle button scroll works instead in mmb mode.
    2. When I use it (with rmb) I have to click on any link twice since it doesn’t work first time if I used CT scroll on this page.I hope you’ll understand me. If not – feel free to email me.
    Thank you

    Love this extension… but I’ve come across one thing. When the scrollbar is disabled, it also disables the function of the following keys:

    Home
    PgUp
    PgDn
    End

    Is it possible to hide the scrollbar yet keep these keys functional?

    Thanks!

    Hello

    I have been looking for samething like this for a long time for my tablet.

    However there is a small option i miss. An option which turns off all the “effects” when draging. No sliding, momentum or anything like it.

    Thank you

    Hi, great extension!

    1. I wanna be able to set FPS in settings (your default setting seems really low, <60 fps?)
    2. Somehow it often stops abruptly in the end of a drag coming to stop. I guess you know this though.

    Hi. Thanks for fixing the right-click menu when scrolling with the right mouse button. There’s another problem though:

    If I select some text and right-click intending to choose “Copy”, the selection disappears, so the “Copy” menu item never appears. It works if I do this in a text box though.

    Also, I second ler01: if I use chromeTouch to scroll a page, I will then have to click links twice. I didn’t observe this behavior in a previous version I was using (I think it was 1.08, but I’m not sure).

    I like the ‘sliding’ feature in the Firefox plugin ‘Grab and Drag’. It lets you set how much the screen keeps moving after you move the page a bit. Also, there are some great ideas you can work off of in that plugin as well.

    Overall this one does most of what I need. Thanks!

    I spoke too soon! I didn’t notice all the other settings in that page. This is one heck of a simple and efficient extension.

    I would love to use this extension, but it results in a serious problem on my computer (Windows 7 64 bit). Google Chrome 4.0.295.0. Whenever I use the keyboard to move to the right entry in a drop down menu, I get the “Aw, Snap” error. This doesn’t happen if I use only the mouse. It doesn’t happen if I disable ChromeTouch. This happens even with all other extensions disabled. Hope you can figure this out and fix it. Thanks!

    For example, I have this problem at the website: http://schedule.berkeley.edu/srchsprg.html

    Now unfortunately I got the same issues I reported earlier, with the extension making the scrolling inconvenient if you have the smooth scroll extension too. Can you fix this, please?
    BTW, very nice with the fixes of no-scrollbar mode, makes it even more perfect!
    Have a nice summer trip to New Zealand!

    This extension finally made Chrome usable for me It’s a nice replacement for Grab’n'Drag for Firefox!

    However, I prefer to not have any breaking effect when sliding, so that the page slides all the way up or down, once I pushed it. Therefore, I strongly suggest one more setting: Set “glideFactor” to 30, “glideEndPixel” to 1 and optionally disable the line “currentY += nextY;” in the glideWindow()-method. I temporarily implemented this by overwriting Sliding Factor 1. Then, this line should be: “if(setting.glideFactor!=1) currentY += nextY;”

    Now, chromeThouch is perfect for me. Except that my changes get lost with every update

    Thanks for great work! There’s a couple issues I encountered in the new version:
    1. I can not turn off bouncing. If I go to settings and turn it off, this works only for tabs that are already open. Any new new tabs have bouncing on again.
    2. I’m still encountering the problem where I have to left-click anywhere in the page after scrolling before I can click on any links. I figured out though this is not a problem if I scroll with the left mouse button.

    Where do I get Chrome 5 ?
    Whatever I download and install, under about dialog it always says Chrome 4…
38. smilkobuta says:

    February 12, 2010 at 4:15 am

    @tog
    Thanks to hacking chromeTouch.
    Your suggestion is sooo fanny! I added it to chromeTouch v2.5
    If you choice ‘Sliding Factor’ to zero, sliding would never stop.

    @vit
    Thanks to bug reports.
    I fixed both of them, but perhaps No-2 is not fixed.
    Why you have to left-click? a context menu open after dragging?
    I cannot figure out your situation.

    @chavlji
    Sorry. chrome5 is for developers now(dev channel).
    Some day it will be released as public release.
    And now, I cannot anything about middle click.

    [version 2.4 change-log]
    Update spanish translation.
    Fix bug some setting is not affect properly
    Fix right button click bug again (context menu open in overflow element)

    [version 2.5 change-log]
    Add never stop mode(set Sliding Factor to zero). thanks tog!

    This is last update in Feb.

    @smilkobuta
    I mean, if, right after using right mouse button for scrolling, I click a link or a button, nothing happens and I have to click again.

41. chavlji says:

    February 12, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    I got Chrome 5 and it works now for the middle button.
    Still there are some bugs:

    1. I push middle button down on link. I start drag slowly and after only 3 pixels (very short drag) I release the middle button. The link opens in new tab! But nothing should happen… I only wanted to (and did) scroll the page. If you set this treshold you should put it to 0 or at least 1 pixel!

    2. If I push middle button down on edits, combos, buttons, checkboxes,…. the page is not scrolling! But it should.

    3. Same as 2 goes to flash videos and movies

    4. Bounce effect is always present even if you uncheck it!

    Please try to fix it. It is a must have plugin!
42. chavlji says:

    February 12, 2010 at 4:10 pm

    Great app, as I regularly use MouseImp in Browsers, but in Webkit Browsers MouseImp is not working.
    But the speed is a little to low for my feeling.

    Is there a possibility to drastically increase the range of the speed setting?

    *BUG: Sliding and friction parameters are working propperly only if cpu isn’t on 100%. As soon as cpu can’t handle everything in real time, the page keeps scrolling and doesn’t stop. Or at least the sliding distance is much much longer…
46. nail000 says:

    March 5, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    *BUG: Causes CPU to jump to 100% on my computer every few minutes, may be related to the amount of tabs in a single process.

    Website used to reproduce bug: http://www.engadget.com/

    Go to the website and then open a few new tabs in the same process by ctrl+clicking on the title of a few articles on the website. Then, in the original tab, scroll around for a while with either the scrollbar or the chromeTouch way. Your CPU should hit 100% on at least one of its cores after a few minutes or less.

    Then, with the extension disabled, refresh all those tabs and scroll around on the original (engadget.com) tab, everything should be ok.

    All other extensions disabled.

    Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention…

    Chrome versions used:
    Windows 5.0.335.1 and 5.0.342.1

    It probably happens on other versions before that too but I only recently found that THIS extension was the cause for the slowdowns.

    Thank you for your extension! It makes Chromium usable on my convertible touchscreen netbook.

    That being said, sliding doesn’t work well on touchscreen devices. It’s either very hard or too easy to initiate, depending on the heaviness of the website.

    Can you add an option to turn sliding off?
