Summary

With Scrollkey, you can scroll pages vertically (down and up) and horizontally (left and right) in VIM style, using j and k shortcuts. You can change the scroll amount to anything you like.

Some websites already register j and k shortcuts. Therefore, these alternative shortcuts are included:

  • scroll down: shift+j, alt+j
  • scroll up: shift+k, alt+k

In the Scrollkey preferences you can set custom values for normal (j, k), shift (shift+j, shift+k) and alt (alt+j, alt+k).

You can also use the normal scroll value as the scroll value for PageUp and PageDown.

You can also change the scrolling method from vertical to horizontal for a shortcut since version 0.7.0.

Due to technical limitations, Scrollkey does not work on:

Last update caused av pag and re pag to not work anymore same with horizontal scrolling. Only J and K work and alt + j/k shift + j/K doesnt work either. (yes I know you changed the preferences and yes I edited them there and press the button to save it and checked that they did save and also tested it on a new clean profile). BTW the spanish translation is pretty bad. Idk if it's automatic or what but if you want I can do the translation to spanish.
