# TgMidScroll - Telegram Desktop Middle-Click Scroller
**TgMidScroll** is a lightweight Windows utility that adds middle-click auto-scrolling to [Telegram Desktop](https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop). It mimics the behavior found in web browsers like Chrome or Firefox.
## Features
* **Native Feel:** Smooth scrolling with acceleration logic.
* **Visual Feedback:** Changes cursor to scroll anchors (North/South/Middle) just like a browser.
* **Auto-Start:** Automatically runs on Windows startup after the first launch.
* **Safe:** Only active when the Telegram window is under the mouse.
* **Lightweight:** Uses minimal resources (written in C++ WinAPI).
## Usage
1. Download `TgMidScroll.exe` from the [Releases](../../releases) page.
2. Move the file to a permanent folder before running.
3. Run the executable.
4. Open Telegram and click the Middle Mouse Button (Wheel Click) to scroll.
### Hotkeys
(These work only when a Telegram window is in the foreground)
* `Ctrl` + `F12`: **Toggle** the script On/Off.
* `Ctrl` + `F11`: **Exit** the application completely.
### Uninstall
1. Press `Ctrl` + `F11` while Telegram is focused to close the app.
2. Delete `TgMidScroll.exe`.
