Stop Slide Scrolling in Google Presentation

Description from store

This extension stops the annoying accidental slide scrolling behavior in Google Drive, including presentations, drawings, calendar, and more. Fixes a terribly irritating problem where Google Drive Presentations automatically jump to the next slide unexpectedly, usually as a result of using the non-scroll-indexed devices like Apple Magic Mouse.

The extension will need to request permissions to fix the issue.

David Smith 2025-09-02: Had this for years, was cleaning out my Google plugins, removed this one cuz I'm not doing as much Slides work as I used to. As soon as I got back into Slides, I instantly just came back and re-added this. Amazing plugin. Deserves a spot if you do Slides work. Thank the Maker that this exists.
Will Moxley 2025-09-02: Been using this for years. Great fix.
Alexandre “Alex” Soares 2025-05-30: Works flawlessly
Justin Trout 2023-01-16: This is actually an option in Google Slides preferences now. No need for a plugin, but it does what it says it is supposed to do. Just go to "Tools" > "Preferences" > toggle "Do not change slide focus on scroll"

Andu Dimofte 2022-08-05: Simple and clean, works just as described, thank you!! However, the annoying behaviour still persists in presentation mode, could you maybe also address this in a future version? Pretty please?

Cody Reynolds 2022-01-14: Like the other reviews, this extension is now unusable for day to day work in spreadsheets. Please revert the way it handled other sites to how it was before. 2/5 until fixed, 5/5 otherwise. EDIT: Quick response by the developer to fix this issue basically overnight. Back to 5/5

Dave Phillips 2022-01-13: This was great but as of today I have had to remove it as it has unfortunately just started stopping me scrolling on google sheets too.

Chasity Strause 2022-01-13: Why the change? This was a fantastic extension for Google Slides, but now it affects all Google Sheets. I can no longer scroll when this in on. It took me 20 minutes to figure out why me Google sheets were no longer allowing me to scroll (waste of my time).
Ilse Normington 2022-01-13: Was working great until today - now it's suddenly preventing me to use scroll in Google Sheets as well which is very annoying!
Kyle Ross 2022-01-05: Incredible! My last 9 hours of frustration with slides jumping while putting together a presentation for tomorrow is now solved! I just wish I searched for this 8 hours ago so I could have shaved off an hour of me jumping between slides inadvertently.
