imwheel mouse wheel scroll step in Ubuntu

After buying a new mouse, I encountered on ubuntu a very small wheel scroll step. After searching for opportunities to manage these parameters, I came across imwheel.

1. Installation:

sudo apt-get install imwheel

2. Customization:

create a configuration file imwheelrc which will describe the rules for the wheel

sudo gedit ~/.imwheelrc

paste the following configuration into the file

".*"
None, Up, Button4, 4
None, Down, Button5, 4

"4" - how many lines will be scrolled for 1 scroll. You will need to play around with this setting.

3. Launch:

After changing the configuration, you should kill the process that is already running in the terminal

killall imwheel

and restart it

imwheel

But if there are auxiliary side buttons "forward" and "back", then

imwheel -b "4 5"

6. Autostart:

To auto-start when you turn it on, you need to go to "Settings" -\u003e "Auto-start applications" and do this

As a result, we get a manageable number of scrollable lines.

PS The mouse is simple, without additional buttons. After these manipulations, additional buttons will stop working (if any).
