Just as I started to assume this feature was ubiquitous(middle-clicking on a page, then scrolling speed/direction is relative to the distance of the pointer on the y-axis).
I can't believe this hasn't been implemented into the text editor in vs2010, I used it all the time in 2005 and 2008.
Has anyone managed to find a workaround or am I a minority user of this feature?
There are a few things that can cause issues for your middle mouse button. Things like hardware malfunctions, incorrect device settings, uninstalled drivers, and incorrect Windows configuration can all cause your middle mouse button to malfunction.
"auto-scroll", "Auto-scrolling is a feature that can be found in most mainstream modern applications. Pressing the middle mouse button transfers the application into the auto-scrolling mode. In this mode, moving the mouse down starts scrolling down the contents even when the mouse is no longer moving.
The scroll wheel that is located in the middle of the mouse is used to scroll up and down on any page without using the vertical scroll bar on the right hand side of a document or webpage. The scroll wheel can also be used as a third button on the mouse.
Here's an extension which makes it work (at least partially): http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/3b81aea8-d022-4aa6-9b8c-16ef86cc610d
