How to deactivate kinetic scrolling on touchpad in GTK3 applications?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I'd like to deactivate the "kinetic scrolling" behavior of the GTK3 applications in Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome 3 (e.g. evince, gedit). If I scroll with the touchpad and don't lift my fingers perfectly vertically, the content keeps on scrolling as if it had momentum.



Is there a global GTK setting to deactivate the kinetic scrolling feature?



I found a couple of posts related to this, but not specifically to deactivate kinetic scrolling. It was only about smooth scrolling (with PageUp/Down keys) or about activating kinetic scrolling.

          If you aren't using Unity, you might want to launch the settings via



          $ unity-control-center


          If you don't see any suitable settings there you may want to remove libinput again and switch to synaptics again:



          $ sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput libinput-tools
          $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics


          And then configure it via synclient.
