Windows-like middle-mouse button behaviour? - eviltoast

On Windows, if you click MMB on some windows, your mouse cursor will turn into a little ↕️ icon, and then you can scroll by moving the mouse cursor up and down, with it going faster the further you drag away from the position it was originally at.

This is one (1) behaviour I miss from Windows. Hours upon hours of scroll-wheeling makes my joints quite tired.

But well. Linux is nothing if not customisable, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to recreate this behaviour on it.

I’m on KDE Plasma.

    I wish KDE was a little more customizable on that front, I can either have it be left corner for left click, middle bottom for middle click and right bottom for right click, OR click anywhere and it’s a left click and do multi finger pressed for mid/right click.

    I just want left and right click, I have a superwide TouchPad on this laptop and the amount of times I close shit (why is middle mouse close for so many things?) is quite irritating.
