How to control how much is scrolled using the mouse wheel? 🤔

[jesped]

Is there any way to specify how many columns are scrolled horizontally when using the mouse wheel in the 'brief' view?

It's a Windows setting, Total Commander calls SystemParametersInfo with parameter SPI_GETWHEELSCROLLLINES.
You can change it in the Windows settings. On Windows 10/11, search for "mouse" and then click on "Additional settings" or similar, then on the mouse wheel tab.

Yes, but if I set it to 1 then *many* other places in Windows scroll at snail pace...

It is not the same to scroll 3 lines than to scroll 3 columns that can be 1500 pixels wide or more, that's why I'm specifictly referring to the 'Brief' view.

This shouldn't be a hard thing to fix, right?

Workaround: click on the > arrow on the horizontal scrollbar to scroll one coluimn for each click.

Yeah, or click on the scrollbar space next to the current, but that workflow is a lot slower.

It may seem like a very minor thing, but I have to deal with this all the time, every day...

I even thought about using a per-app setting, but my mouse software doesn't support that. On the other side, I am not a coder, but I think this could be easily done inside Total Commander as some kind of option in the Settings or .ini or whatever?

If you use the 32-bit version of TC, then there is a solution, but it affects both the brief and full mode.

[jesped]

I don't mind if it affects full mode, but why is it restricted to the 32-bit version?

[Fla$her]

The plugin was written before the release of 64-bit TC version and was no longer updated.

[jesped]

I've been using the 64-bit version since forever (now on Windows 11).
I don't even know what the differences/limitations of the 32-bit version are, but I guess they are not unimportant.

[Fla$her]

Read it: 1, 2, 3.

[jesped]

Ok, will try. Where is that plugin?

[Fla$her]

Autorun (installation) + ScrollTC, which scrolls through almost any active and inactive lists of all sorts of windows/dialogs.

1. Unpack the ScrollTC files to %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wdx\Autorun\Plugins\.
2. In the upper block of the %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wdx\Autorun\autorun.cfg file, write:

   Code: Select all

   If %AUTORUN_TCARCH% = 32 Then _
   LoadLibrary Plugins\ScrollTC.dll

3. At the end of ScrollTC.ini, write:
   

   TMyListBox=00120100 LCLListBox=00120100

   
   Then you can try other step values instead of 2.
4. Restart TC.

Also try using ScrollTC_2.exe in TC x64 (without plugins yet).

Argh... just found out that TC32 doesn't show my custom blue folder icons...

I think you should discuss this issue separately, find out if this is a bug or an incorrect setting.

You can useinstall the combined 32bit/64bit version of TC over your existing 3264bit version. TC will share it's settings files between th two versions.

Have you tested the proposed?

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Now if I run TC64 my folders show the custom Blue icon I set. But the TC32 doesn't show any custom icon I set...
