Default Wow I never knew that

OK, I work with bloody PCs all the time. But hate the things.

So just trawling the org. I accidentally press the middle button (wheel on my mouse) and this strange up/down set of arrows appear and the page scrolls very nicely.

All these years I have cursed the srcoll bar at the side and somebody had already invented a nice scroll mechanism for me and could be bothered to tell me.

OK I bet you kids already knew about it.

It's not useful at all though and is hard to control, however if you click a link with the middle button (scroll wheel if you have it configured like that) it'll open in a new tab, which is very berry useful.

I use it when reading a lot of text - middle click to auto scroll, then set the speed to approximately as fast as you read, then sit back, slurp coffee and read.
