ssia. Attaching a patch that: - makes it a runtime setting - updates the Qt port (which was relying on the flag) - adds a wrapper for the setting in the GTK+ port Yes, I know it doesn't have a changelog, it would take me a few more days to update my webkit :)
Created attachment 75674 [details] First go, doesn't have a changelog, I know.
Created attachment 81068 [details] Make pan scrolling a setting and not a build flag #2 Updated patch to build with current TOT. I also added an explanation what the feature does because it is impossible to find in a web search. Finding a more descriptive name would be nice, but I don't really know.
One thing I wondered after preparing the patch: is it also an option to unconditionally enable this or are there known drawbacks? It's overall not that complex so it doesn't really impact build time or size.
David, what do you think?
In the UNIX Firefox world, middle clicking in a web page (if not on a link) pastes the X copy buffer. This is inherited from old Netscape behavior. I think that this is probably the expected behavior for UNIX users. As far as I recall, middle-clicking in IE and Firefox under Windows triggers Pan Scrolling. To Windows users, this is probably the expected behavior. I do not know how to reconcile this difference in UI between platforms, but I thought I should add the additional information/
If you ever want a review of this patch you might want to mark it r?. :)
I don't think this is something we want for WebKitGTK+ ATM.
