I definitely agree with this: I am annoyed by this behavior fairly consistently. I've used some programs which do this correctly--most notably Emacs--and find it to be a much more natural way of scrolling.
However, I was under the impression that I am one of the few people that uses the space bar to scroll, so browsers would not give changes like this a high priority.
How many other people scroll this way? Do you also find the current behavior annoying, or would you find his preferred change less convenient?
- scott_s 15y agoI never have this problem because I scroll continuously with the touchpad. Before I had access to a touchpad, I scrolled continuously with the mouse wheel.
- ars 15y agoI think it may be a mac thing, since I've never seen a mac with a scroll wheel (although I'm sure they exist).
- scott_s 15y agoMac mice don't need scroll wheels because you can do the scroll motion on their surface and they'll do the right thing. But I rarely use mice these days.
- msbarnett 15y agoMost people use third-party mice with their Mac; almost all third party mice have scroll wheels.
- Angostura 15y agoBoth the Mighty Mouse and the Magic Mouse have scrollwheel analogues.
- JimDabell 15y agoEvery Mac shipped with a mouse in the past 6 years has had a continuous scrolling mechanism built into the mouse. First with the Mighty Mouse, which had a scroll ball, and then with the Magic Mouse, which you can scroll directly on the surface of the mouse.
