Scroll Gauge
A GNOME app for setting touchpad scroll speed.
WSF's own window only sets one global speed and Touchpad Speed Control's settings only set per-app speeds and neither lets you try the speed while you adjust it. Scroll Gauge puts both in one window with a live demo.
Where it runs
Linux, GNOME on Wayland, any distribution. Not GNOME on X11 or other desktops (WSF is GNOME Wayland only).
Tested on Fedora 44, GNOME 50.
Requirements
- Python 3.11+ with PyGObject, GTK 4 and libadwaita 1.4+ (already installed on GNOME). If missing:
sudo dnf install python3-gobject libadwaita(Fedora),sudo apt install python3-gi gir1.2-adw-1(Ubuntu/Debian),sudo pacman -S python-gobject libadwaita(Arch) - WSF, enabled with
wsf enable - Optional: the Touchpad Speed Control GNOME extension, for per-app speeds. It switches to each app's speed as you use it. Without it, only the global speed is available. See Install.
Install
Fedora (COPR):
sudo dnf copr enable viken/scrollgauge
sudo dnf install scrollgauge
Any distribution (PyPI):
pip install scrollgauge
[Optional] for per-app speeds: install Touchpad Speed Control
gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell.Extensions --object-path /org/gnome/Shell/Extensions \
--method org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.InstallRemoteExtension touchpad-speed-control@ritesh
Usage
Open Scroll Gauge from the app grid or run scrollgauge.
Changes save automatically.
Limitations
- The demo only shows the global speed. Apps scale scrolling differently, so the same speed can still feel a little different elsewhere.
- Per-app speeds need Touchpad Speed Control.
- Touchpad only. Mouse wheel scrolling isn't affected, because WSF doesn't change it.
- Horizontal scrolling gets the same speed as vertical.
