I had a very slow scroll speed until I found that.

Speed 7 👍
This happened for me when I added some monitors and "Put Windows" to my setup.
Not sure whose exact fault it is in the end.
The solution works well, although the scrolling is not as smooth as I'm used to, but much better than before.
Thanks a bunch! 💚
OK, just turned it down to 3 😬
Ok, thank you for your comment 😀😉🙏
If I try to run the script, it says "Value out of range.".
If I run "bash <(curl -s nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh)" as superuser then I see the windows to adjust the speed and it works fine.
Adding it to the startup doesn't help... each time I have to run it as root.
What am I doing wrong?
Using this on Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and Thinkpad L380
nevermind, deleting ~/.imwheelrc and re-running the script fixed it.
Ok 👍😊
You can just do
bash <(curl -s http://www.nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh)instead of copy the script manually and changing permissions. :)Ok, good tip ! I will add this to post ;)
Many thanks !
Thanks a lot, you solved my problem!
Thank you to dev.to community 😀
Have fun
Your script doesn't work for me.
Here are my revised lines that made the script work for me (line numbers included):
FYI the changes are: added grep to return the numbers only and put an equals sign in the --text option for zenity.
Thanks mate, this worked like a charm.
You are welcome, thanks to you and dev.to 😊
A couple of other options are listed here: askubuntu.com/questions/285689/inc...
I implemented an own simple Python script which you can simply run in the background, which implements mouse scroll wheel acceleration: github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wh...
Hi,
When I run step 4, I'm getting this "This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages."
Sorry, have you downloaded script on step 2 ? Or copy and past ?
I got same issue. Both copy&paste and download the script produce same issue
Worked flawlessly in ubuntu 18 !
Cool ! 👍
Have a nice day !
For those wondering how to do step 6 see io.bikegremlin.com/11541/linux-mou...
Thank you for your link 👍
I had an issue with this script disabling my mouses back/forward buttons. To fix, add the following to the last line of the script: imwheel -kill -b "4 5"

Just one thing, this is not limited to Gnome only as is commented on the top of the script, imwheel works at X windows level. It worked for me on KDE.

Does someone know how to make these settings persistent, so it can survive reboot?
Look here wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IMWheel
as jon sivku say
😉
thanks, did that, works like a charm
Thanks!!!
But Mouse Back and Forward buttons not working... pls help me!!!
Have you Tried to use imwheel -b "4 5" ?
One problem I ran into is that, if you have run imwheel already, then the above command does nothing.
I needed to "$ killall imwheel" and then run the above command, then only the scroll wheel action is captured by imwheel.
Thanks for this walkthrough
Thank's work fine in ubuntu 20.04
Thank you man, it's working.
you can just do this to download the file :
~> curl nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh -o mousewheel.sh
Ok, thank you 😉
Hey, is it possible to adjust the script so that touchpad scrolling speed is not affected? Touchpad speed was just right, I only need to adjust mouse scrolling speed. Thanks!
Hey, I don't know... I'm not the script creator.
Instead of put the script in starts app, try to run it manualy when you are using mouse. Too, you can try to have two settings files.
If you found, say it to me,
Have a nice day
My back button stopped working on my mouse
Try to use imwheel -b "4 5"
wow this was really helpful !!! Thank you so much !!!!
You are welcome 🙂 thank kou 👍
Why I need to fix this every time I turn on my computer?
Here's an article that explains how to turn this action into a startup script wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IMWheel
=D Thanks @bavouzet
