Scroll while dragging on W10
Posted: 18 May 2022, 17:32
On Windows 10 (and any other Windows version afaik) you can't scroll while dragging something, at max you can drag and scroll if the window being scrolled isn't the one you're dragging from.
I wanted to make a script to enable that but couldn't do it. I also searched ahk forums and other softwares looking for that functionality but wasn't able to find a reliable tool. The two or so topics on this matter are from many years ago and things probably changed under the hood, since W10 now allows you to scroll inactive windows and it conflicts with tools like AltDrag rendering you unable to scroll any modern Windows app. The same goes for other softwares, they usually break one or more things, as stated with AltDrag. Do any of you know how to do it?
FWIW AltDrag "Scroll inactive windows" functionality/option allows you to scroll while dragging, the only problem is that it conflicts with modern Windows apps, you can't scroll them at all. My point is that it seems it can be done, and with AHK it'd maybe be simple to circumvent the modern Windows apps problem by only making the script work on specified windows (file explorer, et cetera).
