Use middle mouse button to pan around (system wide)

I've started working on Ubuntu machine in office, but for several last years I've used and still use MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra, and I really miss best trackpad ever that you can find on all Apple notebooks and magic trackpad it self, and now need to work with mouse.

I already made my Ubuntu as close as possible to macOS environment (at least Dock is available with Plank and Spotlight with Albert), but I wanted to extend a little bit more.

I need an option when I click and hold middle mouse button, webpages and text editors (like Sublime Text) could scroll in that direction where I point. I guess something like this you can do in Photoshop or Blender, but I need it system wide, to simulate great trackpad features. Is it possible?

Thanks!

You cannot do it system-wide unfortunately. It is on an application per application basis.

Please note that the feature you are asking for is called autoscrolling. So googling autoscrolling + <application name> should help you find which application allows this feature.
