Other Stuff
- Jim Chen's Gesso extension enables the Vista floating TIP in Firefox.
- GeckoTIP enables the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition floating TIP in several Mozilla apps.
- Improve your Tablet PC or UMPC's pen responsiveness throughout Windows XP Tablet PC Edition with the Tabtip-Tamer program.
- I highly recommend the Drag De Go extension by yukichi for users of Grab and Drag. It is an enhanced version of the popular Super Drag and Go extension.
The Grab And Drag extension provides a number of alternative ways to scroll pages in Firefox, Thunderbird, and Flock. It provides Adobe Acrobat-style grab and drag page scrolling and scrollbar-style scrolling initiated by dragging anywhere on the screen. Grab and Drag also recognizes mouse "Flick" gestures for scrolling up, down, left, or right a screenful at a time, and supports page "Momentum", allowing a page to continue scrolling when dragged at a constant velocity and released.
The extension provides three ways to easily toggle functionality on and off:
- A toggle icon can be added to the toolbars via View > Toolbars > Customize...
- Alt-Shift-D toggles functionality on and off
- The new 'TextToggle' feature allows grabbing to be temporarily disabled simply by double-clicking text in the webpage. Clicking non-text reenables dragging.
Grab and Drag 2.7.3
Grab and Drag in action on a touchscreen device:
Note: If you run Grab and Drag in middle button mode it will disable autoscrolling automatically for compatibility reasons. You can reinstate it later in the Firefox Options menu under the "Advanced" tab by checking the box "Use Autoscrolling".
Is Grab and Drag sluggish on your Tablet PC/UMPC when you scroll with the pen? Try running Tabtip-Tamer to improve pen responsiveness throughout Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.
