+	Configure the method by which physical movements are mapped to scroll events.
 
 	The scroll methods available are:
 	- *twofinger* - Scroll by two fingers being placed on the surface of the
 	  touchpad, then moving those fingers vertically or horizontally.
 	- *edge* - Scroll by moving a single finger along the right edge
 	  (vertical scroll) or bottom edge (horizontal scroll).
+	- *onbutton* - Scroll by pressing a button.
 	- *none* - No scroll events will be produced.
 
 	The default method depends on the touchpad hardware.
 
+*<libinput><device><scrollButton>* [button]
+	Set the button used for the *onbutton* scroll method.
+
+	*button* is the decimal form of a value from `linux/input-event-codes.h`.

 *<libinput><device><sendEventsMode>* [yes|no|disabledOnExternalMouse]
 	Optionally enable or disable sending any device events.
