    Hi everyone, I have this function called 'inertial movement' on my touchpad but I don't know what it does or how to use it. Can anyone help?

    When scrolling, if you flick really fast, it takes the inertia into account and scrolls really far.

    I tried that and it didn't seem to work. When going to mouse properties inertial movement is under the tab 'area switch', and comes with an option to enable only when dragging... so I don't think it has to do with scrolling?
