-
- Do you own a wheelmouse?
-
- Are you disappointed with the amount of software which supports
- the wheel?
-
- If this sounds like you, then you'll love FreeWheel!
-
- FreeWheel can scroll any window which either contains standard gadtools
- scrollbars, or listens for cursor up/down keypresses.
-
- Clicking of the wheel-button (or MMB on non-wheeled mice) can be
- mapped to several functions, including the ubiquitous MMB-Shift.
-
- FreeWheel also provides continuous adjustment of mouse speed,
- between 33% and 300%, via a hotkey-accessible GUI.
-
- It can also provide my personally preferred click-to-front behaviour
- (where a double-click in the window border brings forward the window)
-
- FreeWheel is NOT a serial mouse driver - so you'll still need NewMouse
- or whatever to drive your mouse.
-
-
- New for V2.1:
- Now co-exists better with Alessandro Zummo's MUIWheel. If MUIWheel 1.4
- is running, FreeWheel can be told to ignore MUI windows.
-
- Can now reverse the direction of scrolling.
-
- Double-clicks of the fourth button (given a suitable driver) should now
- work properly.
-
-
- New for V2.0:
- Scroll events can now be generated using non-wheeled mice or trackballs.
-
- The GUI has been extended, and the whole program made more flexible.
-
-
- New for V1.1b:
- Horizontal scrolling with 2-axis mouse works again!
-
-
- New for V1.1:
- The Horizontal and Vertical mouse speeds can now be set individually.
- Useful if you're working a screen mode which doesn't have square pixels.
-
- Screens can now be cycled with a double-click of the middle/wheel button.
-
- Horizontal scrollers and sliders can now be moved with the wheel.
