There's a hacky way to do this in Linux in general regardless of what desktop
environment you use meaning it's going to work in any application that supports
mouse wheel scrolling.

It modifies the mouse functionality when middle-click is held down. You hold
the middle click then when you slide down your mouse it'll send a mouse wheel
signal instead of your cursor moving down.

What you're gonna look for if you're using libinput is this when you type `
xinput --list-props <id number of your mouse>`

`libinput Scroll Method Enabled (287):  0, 0, 1`
`libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (288):  0, 0, 1`

and for it to survive a reboot I have this on my
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
         Option "ScrollMethod" "button"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection
