O.o I didn't know you can hold the button down!!! *cires* wasted so many minutes of my life (really)
Anyway, I agree with blade and fully support this suggestion.
That's normal Windows beheviour. Every button (which is used as an index in lists etc) can be hold down to scroll faster in 1 click. Every good program must behave this way (unless there is a very good solid reason not to do so). It is as logic as if you press "<-" means going back and "->" means going forward. Or that ALT-F4 means exiting the application. CTRL-C means copy, etc. That the tab key is used to scroll forward through objects (in the widest meaning) and that Shift-tab means scrolling back. That a scrollbar can be used to scroll through a list, that a dropdown menu works with the mouse and by using your keyboard arrows, etc... etc... etc...

My point is that such things shouldn't be something to be surprised upon, but rather should be taken (and known) as granted. And thus also made that way by programmers (if it isn't already done by default by the added controls).
