How do you use a scrollbar without a mouse?

  I use a trackpad and button to drag up and down on the scroll bar. I don't think the scroll on the trackpad is precise enough.

    It's totally weird that I didn't even register the two devices as different hardware classes. I can imagine instances where scrolling on a trackpad is more precise (webpages) and less precise (Photoshop?), but in reality, since the move to multitouch trackpads, two-finger scrolling has almost always felt significantly faster and more accurate.

    I also use the three-finger swipe on scrollbars, regularly. Not all windows scroll properly. Still, the notion of clicking and dragging to scroll is really odd now.

    On a Mac? Trackpad scrolling on all Windows laptops I tried always annoyed me but I never had any problems with two-finger-scrolling. It's nearly as precise as moving the mouse pointer. (The only problem is that you have two fingers on the trackpad, but Mac trackpads are not as tiny as so many PC counterparts.)
