VS Code touchpad scrolling moving cursor instead of page
I know this is an old post, but I was having a similar problem and wanted to share another solution in case anyone else comes across this like I did. The only thing that was sort of working was Ctrl + Touchpad Scroll, but that was really annoying and distracting.
I found another solution on the Lenovo Support forum that solved my problem in 3 easy steps:
- Open regedit.exe using run
- Go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech\SmartPad - Change
ScrollControl_Modefrom0to1
Unfortunately, there is no setting in VSCode to resolve this.
The GitHub issue for this problem was closed since the issue is on Chromium's end. The Chromium bug report is still open and many people have commented on it regarding issues with their Lenovo laptops.
Can you try this workaround, Ctrl + Touchpad Scroll. This one worked for me.
