In the following example, a custom key is used to click the mouse and scroll 127 units vertically and horizontally, then undo all of that when released - because that's a totally useful function. Listen, this is an example: ### Custom Mouse Keycode

Recall that the mouse report is set to zero (except the buttons) whenever it is sent, so the scrolling would only occur once in each case. Recall that the mouse report is set to zero (except the buttons) whenever it is sent, so the scrolling would only occur once in each case.
### Drag Scroll or Mouse Scroll
A very common implementation is to use the mouse movement to scroll instead of moving the cursor on the system. This uses the `pointing_device_task_user` callback to intercept and modify the mouse report before it's sent to the host system.
```c
enum custom_keycodes {
DRAG_SCROLL = SAFE_RANGE,
};
bool set_scrolling = false;
report_mouse_t pointing_device_task_user(report_mouse_t mouse_report) {
if (set_scrolling) {
mouse_report.h = mouse_report.x;
mouse_report.v = mouse_report.y;
mouse_report.x = mouse_report.y = 0
}
return mouse_report;
}
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
if (keycode == DRAG_SCROLL && record->event.pressed) {
set_scrolling = !set_scrolling;
}
return true;
}
```
This allows you to toggle between scrolling and cursor movement by pressing the DRAG_SCROLL key.
