      Hi all.

      The default scoll speed (Opera 32) is far too slow for me; I need at least twice as fast. Currently, I failed to find the way to adjust it; please help me with this.

      Thanks.

        same here, default scroll is too slow (small step)
        i'm using extension smoothscroll
        https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smoothscroll/nbokbjkabcmbfdlbddjidfmibcpneigj

        where can i adjust step and all other things
        to be able to install it from chrome addons page, you will need another extension (just temporarily, you can remove it after you install chrome extensions)
        https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en

        there is no internal scroll step size/speed to tweak it

          Thank you so much! Works for me. I don't want scroll to be smooth, so I've just set Animation time to 1 ms, and adjusted Step size as I want. Thanks again.

            Thanks vux777. Installed those extensions and am happy with the results. Now have smooth scrolling with Opera and scroll speed has been increased nicely from being too slow before with their default settings.

            Am happy with the default settings but how do you get into them to adjust scroll speeds, etc., if you want to?

              While that extension works on most sites, it also is a bit weird it opens a new tab to some unrelated homepage when you install it and requires permission to view all data on all pages (can it see when i key in my credit card then?) - and on a few pages or iframes it simply doesn't work, for example gmail.

                when you install it, it will open new tab (I believe promoting new extension from the same developer)
                it's a one-time event, you simply close it (if no interest in it) and thats it

                about permissions
                that extension works as content script
                it means that it must be injected into every page to listen for your mouse wheel actions and create smooth animation (or whatever you set on settings page)...there is no other way for extension to do that job
                and because it must be injected into every page you visit (except internal opera pages and addons store pages)
                thus permission access to all data on every site (or something like that)

                  Installed the above smoothscroll extension in Opera Dev 40.0 but it still won't smooth scroll.

                  How do you get smooth scroll in Opera Dev 40.0?
