This was a feature I had on an older xp machine where if I dragged my finger on the right edge of my trackpad it would move down the page. Since Ubuntu is now way ahead of xp, I would assume there is a way to enable a feature like this. If this is possible, how? Thanks and regards, Thomas

1Should be enabled by default. There is also a setting for it under Mouse and Touchpad. – mikewhatever Nov 10 '17 at 03:42

This is why I commented, All I got was the option of the primary button, the mouse speed, and the natural scrolling. – Tom Hancock Nov 10 '17 at 03:49

Why haven't you mentioned it in the question? – mikewhatever Nov 10 '17 at 04:22

I assumed it to be implied, sorry. – Tom Hancock Nov 10 '17 at 14:52

This command works on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm not sure about Budgie 17.10.
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
To disable:
synclient VertEdgeScroll=0

It gives me this error: Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded? – Tom Hancock Nov 10 '17 at 14:56

@TomHancock Yeah, sorry, looks like synaptics has been replaced by libinput on Gnome. See [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/781500/301745). – wjandrea Nov 10 '17 at 20:47

@TomHancock Doesn't look like it, no. If you google "libinput edge scrolling", you'll find all sorts of posts saying it's been deprecated. The reasoning is explained here: [Why libinput doesn't support edge scrolling](http://who-t.blogspot.ca/2015/03/why-libinput-doesnt-support-edge.html) – wjandrea Nov 10 '17 at 21:04
