QuickWheel is a dual ring radial mouse gesture menu triggered by holding middle-click to lower the friction of daily browsing with instant flicks. Created and developed by Janis Flury (aka Frog1230).
Transform your browsing speed with QuickWheel a lightweight, 2-layer radial gesture wheel designed for power users. Simply hold the middle mouse button anywhere on a page to summon a sleek, dark-mode radial menu directly under your cursor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
