3 years ago Hi, I've just implemented the modification you suggested. It's possible now to configure the start and stop buttons separately.
Let me know if this works for you, so I can close the issue.

Hello & congratulations for your clever handy script.
In my opinion, a modification that would make your script even more useful for some people would be if users could configure a different mouse button to stop the AutoScroll [AS] operation, after previously initiating it with the default button [which, for my use-case, i still prefer to be your default middle/wheel button].
In other words, ideally i could do these:
According to the README, the AS python script can be edited to use a different mouse button. Sadly, whilst one of my mice is 5-button, the other is only 3-button, ie, effectively no practical option there.
Using this 3-button mouse as my example, using the same [atm, middle] button to both start and stop the AS operation is not a problem in a browser, or really any non-text-input field of any app.
However unfortunately, when one is within a text-editor etc, or even just a text-input field in a browser, clicking the wheel again to stop the AS, does indeed stop the scrolling, but also causes the clipboard's selection content to be pasted unintentionally.
Similarly in reverse, if merely trying to selection-paste via the wheel-click [which i do lots & lots every day as an important part of my workflow], unfortunately then the AS operation also invokes, with the only way to stop it being to do another middleclick, which then does another paste.
If my modification suggestion is viable, i think your script would become even more valuable than it already is.
Thank you.
