i have mouses with wheel and without and love the click&drag in both kind of mouse i like also the wheel for many things, but for browsing i prefer the drag, specially in pages that i also need horizontal scrool this is a thing that i miss when i have to use mozilla
dragging some web pages is, well, a drag. For a page like Slashdot, that's a lot of "drag, pick up mouse, drag, pick up mouse, ..."
well i think the same about the wheel, rolling the wheel for lot of time to reach the other end... but most of the time we only do small drags, just like small wheel rolling
A great replacement feature (IMO) would be to replicate Mozilla's behavior only when the user middle-clicks directly on the location bar. It's intuitive, and it shouldn't get in the way of Dillo's nifty middle-button-drag panning.
as this one can be problematic, how about shift middle click to do the paste? and how about middle click in the status bar and/or in any part of the toolbar, minus the location bar that should do the normal paste always higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
