For scroll/touch users, the scrollbar has become an indicator only, and not so much a tool for scrolling, to show where on the document the window is.
- rhizome 5y agoThere are times when I'd love to have page up/down on a tablet.
- floatboth 5y agoFor mouse too, actually. I grew up with scroll wheel mice so I literally never had a reason to use a scrollbar to scroll.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah the scroll wheel was a big quality of life improvement when it came in. I wouldn't want to do without anymore. Though I mainly use pgup/pgdn to scroll. I wish the keyboard had a big scroll wheel. Some 90s keyboards did, like a big rod. But now if there is one it's for volume control only.
- bagacrap 5y agoreally? what about really long pages? I frequently have to grab the thumb and because the scroll wheel takes ages
- account42 5y agoScroll wheel tends to be quite slow compared to dragging the scrollbar for large views so they really don't replace each other.
- Melatonic 5y agoEven as an indicator I like it larger than many places set it to by default. I am also on pretty large 27" monitors though
- Gigachad 5y agoThis is not true. On iOS I absolutely can grab the scroll bar and drag it around like normal. It even makes a solid click when the grab is active. It just isn’t super prominent like old desktop OSs had it.
