What is the utility of per-pixel scrolling in a text editor?
- valignatev 7y agoIt's just pleasant to have. I sometimes scroll text with touchpad and it's never a good experience in Emacs.
- sdegutis 7y agoIn some mysterious psychological way that I don't fully understand, per-pixel scrolling helps me to mentally keep my place significantly faster and easier than per-line scrolling.
- retromario 7y agoSimilar to the two sibling posters, I find pixel-scrolling (particular with the weighted momentum feeling you get on macos) to be more visually comfortable and easier to track. I found it frustrating in spacemacs that I couldn't get this set up properly (and I'm not even sure if it's possible too). Everything else in emacs was eye-opening and fun.
