Review of "Touchpad Speed Control" version 1

Details Page Preview

Per-application touchpad scroll speed control for GNOME on Wayland. GNOME has no touchpad scroll speed setting — and it's one of the most complained-about omissions. On Wayland, two-finger scrolling is notoriously inconsistent: Firefox and Chrome scroll uncontrollably fast, GTK3 apps are faster than GTK4, VSCode behaves differently from your PDF reader, and on high-resolution displays the problem is even worse. A single swipe sends you flying across an entire webpage. WSF (Wayland Scroll Factor) partially solves this by letting you apply a global scroll multiplier. But a global fix creates a new problem: you slow down Chrome to a comfortable speed, and suddenly your GTK4 apps, terminal, and file manager — which were perfectly fine — now scroll too slowly. You can't win. This extension solves that by giving you per-application, per-axis scroll speed control. Slow down Chrome and Firefox without touching anything else. Speed up your PDF reader independently. Set horizontal scrolling differently from vertical. The correct factor is applied automatically as you switch windows or hover over them. Features: • Independent vertical and horizontal scroll speed per application • Automatic detection via window focus changes and cursor tracking • Search, fine-tune, reset, and sync controls in the settings panel • Factor caching to minimize system overhead Requires Wayland Scroll Factor (WSF): https://github.com/daniel-g-carrasco/wayland-scroll-factor After installing WSF, run "wsf enable" and log out/in for the preload to activate. The extension will notify you if WSF is missing or inactive. Source code: https://github.com/ritesh-777/touchpad-speed-control
