I was Lazy and made that file to to copy it in the games folder for every new games, since i use multiple PC's and change my OS regularly that little thing was a big help for convenience.

The difference with ctrl key is that this one skips unseen, right?

Yes when you scroll down fast its like hammering space or left mousebutton.
You can call it skip yeah because you can make it really fast forwarding.
I never used it for that, but that works.
