A downloadable tool for Windows

QuickWheel is a dual ring radial mouse gesture menu triggered by holding middle click. Designed for power users, it lowers the friction of daily browsing with 8 instant flicks!

Created and developed by Janis Flury (aka Frog1230).

 Key Features & Gestures

Simply hold the middle mouse button anywhere on a page to summon a sleek, dark mode radial menu directly under your cursor.

 Inner Ring Gestures (Close Flicks):

  • Duplicate Tab (UP): Instantly clone your active tab without right clicking tab headers.
  • Focus Search (RIGHT): Automatically finds and focuses search bars across Reddit, YouTube, X, Wikipedia, and complex Web Components.
  • Copy Markdown (BOTTOM): Copies selected text as a blockquote with a formatted page link for Notion, Obsidian, Discord, or GitHub.
  • Translate Page (LEFT): Translates webpage text in place under the hood without opening extra tabs.

 Outer Ring Gestures (Far Flicks):

  • Jump to Top (UP): Smoothly scrolls straight back to the top of long feeds.
  • Mute / Unmute Tab (RIGHT): Silences noisy media tabs directly from anywhere on the screen.
  • Copy Link (BOTTOM): Copies the plain page URL directly to your clipboard.
  • Reopen Tab (LEFT): Instantly restores your last closed tab.

 Why QuickWheel?

  • Preserves Native Autoscroll: Quick middle clicks (<150ms) still trigger your browser's native middle click autoscroll normally.
  • Frictionless Navigation: Page scrolling automatically locks during gestures, and your cursor transforms into a smooth pointer.
  • Isolated Shadow DOM UI: Encapsulated styling ensures web page stylesheets never break the radial menu layout.
  • 100% Private: Operates entirely on your device with zero data collection, analytics, or external tracking.

 Privacy Policy

  • Privacy First: QuickWheel operates entirely on your local device. This extension does not transmit, collect, store, or sell any of your personal data or browsing activity.
