Nice. I wasted a few hours trying to get firefox or opera to scroll for a telepromter. Now I can click and go, while adjusting on the fly using a keyboard. top

Thank you! Since I can't use a mouse, Firefox's native autoscroll function is inaccessible to me. But now I can click the link with Mouseless Browsing, and there it goes. Beats losing a keyboard key to an AutoHotKey script. top

Hey, I'm certainly glad you found it useful! Thanks for stopping by :)

I saw your post about Dragon's inability to middle click... bummer. I'm a big fan of DNS myself, and am considering either buying MacSpeech, or upgrading to 10 and staying with Parallels. How do you like DNS 10? top

FYI, this script has saved me from tendonitis. I use it daily. Thank you. top

Thanks. Really useful. top

Gracias Awesome setup/play...

This is great. Thanks so much! top

What a good bookmarklet it is! But it doesn't work in iPhone safari.　Prease make it for iPhone!!! top

I was looking for a way to slow down auto scrolling using a mouse and found this site. This is exactly what I wanted but using the keyboard. I see lots of queries regarding this but no similar answers for mouse control. Thanks for your efforts. There is obviously a need for this to read on line.

Tim,

I use your this bookmarklet daily and was curious how to modify the code such as to set a new default scroll speed.

Thanks for making this available.

Best,
Tom top

Hey Tom,

The source code is in there. It's a bit encoded, but with a little bit of effort you could decode it easily. Then search for a bookmarklet encoder to encode it back up again.

The speeds are there at the top. It's an array of [pixels to move, delay between movements]. It's using a logarithmic scale, doubling the amount of pixels and the delay every time the delay goes below 25 (browsers tank at that threshold). top

Found it. Somehow I'd missed ss_speed variable in the URL encoding, so I wasn't understanding how you set the default scroll value.

To those who want to do likewise, just change "ss_speed=1" to whatever predefined speed you want. The number corresponds to the scroll speed key you'd press on your keyboard.

Best,
Tom top

Esc does not seem to work. 0 stops scrolling. Esc does nothing. Not sure what it's supposed to do. Running Snow Leopard, Safari, on a Mac Pro. top

hmm... it used to :S Maybe Safari changed the keycode sent by escape.

At any rate, been thinking about mapping it to Q as well. top

Nicely done. Tweeted and FBed. top

Brilliant! What an incredible time saver. Used in conjunction with Readability (both recommended by ScreenCastsOnline's Don McAllister) your service is truly enchanting. top

Please help me out.I've been enjoying using this bookmarklet! My question is, how do I start scrolling without using the mouse? I was searching for the answer to that, to no avail...Mouseless Browsing does not help with a bookmark...or, at least I could not find how to do that... Anyone, help me start scrolling with keyboard? top

@everevolving:

You could just assign a keyword to it: just open the bookmarks manager, select your bookmark in the bookmark toolbar folder, expand the little arrow to get more options, and type "as" under "keyword".

With this setting, whenever you type in "as" in the address bar, auto scroll will get invoked.

There may be a better solution, like some Firefox plug-in that enables you to set hotkeys to bookmarks, but without any additional extensions, this should do the job and allow you to activate it without having to use the mouse. top

Hello Tim,

Can I use this script in a Firefox Add-on? Also could you contant me via cotcaro (at) gmail . com top

I love this. Thanks to 30DCplus for this great tip top
