Nevodka Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 This is a shot in the dark here since i've exhausted most of the Google searches, but i'm wondering if anybody knows any applications that would allow you to scroll without an actual scroll wheel. I've been laptop gaming for several years now without the use of a mouse, and now I need to be able to scroll to see the tab menu on gmod. Last resort is using a mouse, because i'd rather not have to re-learn all my movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sh@dow Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wait.... You don't use a mouse? I salute you, that's hard as fuck, but you should be able to scroll with the right side of your mousepad I think, that's how it is on mine, I game with a mouse connected to it, but I suppose every laptop is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This worked. I never knew you could scroll with the right side. I am forever in your debt and I love you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 scroll lock + arrow keys page down/page up? I would think most apps would play nice with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinoPuppy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You already found it but yeah, the side of the trackpad is usually reserved as a built-in scroll bar... in fact most do horizontal scrolling along the bottom too. Another option would be to use a hotkey reassignment program like AutoHotKey to reassign an unused key to the MouseScrollUp & MouseScrollDown fuctions.
