Mouse wheel enhancement for Windows (screen shot) PurposeThe prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering "universal" scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is default on Windows). This is a major increase in the usefullness of the mouse wheel. Another (optional) feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a recovered window the active window. FeaturesIf your using KatMouse wheel button functionality, you can scroll most windows page wise by holding the wheel button over the window and clicking the left (up) or right (down) mouse button. If you hold the left or right mouse button, you'll get continuous, accelerating pagewise scrolling. To push a window to the stack bottom, just click with the wheel button on the window (double click on 'always on top' windows). This works even while dragging something
with the mouse (i.e. copying files from one explorer to another). You can change the push button to be one the extended buttons of newer 5-button mice. In the KatMouse properties dialog (available by right clicking on the KatMouse tray icon and clicking Settings ) you can choose individual wheel scroll settings for applications and windows. In the Applications tab, choose the applications executable file in the file dialog and set the desired scroll width by double clicking on the new entry in the list (screen shot ). After that all windows of this application will not scroll with the default scroll width, but with the individualized settings you made. The same applies to the Classes tab: Here you can select the kind of window (its class) to customize (drag the crosshair to the window).
If the chosen window does not behave correctly you can disable the 'Window has wheel scrolling support' checkbox in its settings dialog. This will force KatMouse
to use a different, possibly less efficient approach to scrolling the window.

This Japanese data reflects a global problem. The most common password worldwide in 2025 was, yet again, "123456", and an astonishing 25% of the top 1,000 global passwords consist solely of numbers. However, Japan stands out for the prevalence of "admin" as its number one, hinting at a unique combination of legacy default settings and a high number of unconfigured IoT devices, alongside the strong cultural tendency to use names and pop culture references. If you want to strengthen your authentication systems, tell me: japanese password list updated Japanese users also show a strong tendency to incorporate personal information into their passwords. The presence of "yamamoto2580" (a surname followed by numbers) and "Kanazawa2" (a city name with a number) demonstrates a reliance on culturally specific references that are surprisingly easy for attackers to guess using tailored Japanese dictionaries. If you are looking for a high-quality list for security testing, the Weakpass repository or the SecLists project on GitHub are the gold standards. They provide curated, regularly updated dictionaries that include regional and language-specific subsets. Do not rely solely on global dictionaries. Integrate updated Japanese-specific wordlists into your registration validation systems. Reject entries containing common Romaji words, Goroawase sequences (like 4649), and prominent local brand names.

Can’t copy the link right now Analysis of malware-stolen credentials indicates that password hygiene in Japan often mirrors global trends, with a high concentration of numeric sequences and simplistic alphabetical patterns. Most Common Passwords in Japan (2025–2026 Trends) "Goroawase" is a Japanese wordplay technique where numbers represent specific sounds or words. Users frequently employ these as short, memorable passwords: : Read as Yoroshiku (Nice to meet you / Best regards). 5296 : Read as Kobukuro (A popular music duo). 39 : Read as Sankyuu (Thank you). If you need to audit your security systems, I can help you with the next steps. Let me know: At the very least, ensure that your most sensitive accounts—primary email, online banking, major social media, and healthcare portals—each have a strong, unique password. They must be at least 12 characters long and contain a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. However, the easiest way to achieve this is to let a password manager generate a completely random password. Avoid the obvious, such as dictionary words, keyboard patterns, and personal information. Problems
There are some applications which will not fully cooperate with KatMouse (older Microsoft Office versions for example). This usually results in the old scrolling behavior (scrolling window with
keyboard focus) for this application.
