This isn’t scroll hijacking You can scroll normally, with all your favorite keys, or go super fast to the bottom It’s just scroll animations. Bad ones, admitt

Just use your page_up/page_down keys, and you can skip all the stupid/excessive scrolling requirements.

  Now that iPhone has switched to USB-C, I can plug in my Apple Extended Keyboard directly without needing a dongle. It’s like magic.

    I now have visions of an Apple Extended Extended Keyboard that comes with a crank...

      It’s nothing new. In fact, many of the comments on this site were made by keyboards with cranks. Er… I meant to say cranks with keyboards. Sorry. It was a rough weekend.

    Not even an ADB-to-USB dongle?

      Thirty years ago, Apple made a translucent green ADB "keypad" which had a small LCD display (perhaps only two lines of text?) – marketed towards academics, it allowed students to learn touch-typing without the distractions of an entire computer. Once you were happy with your touch-typed document, you then plugged the "keypad" directly into your Mac's ADB (keyboard/mouse) port... and the thing would sit there and manually re-type your composition into the computer's texteditor. ---- Education needs such "reduced tech" to return to teaching. Think of this one as a "more advanced typewriter" – although I own a few of those, too, and they're fantastic for pure composition.

    The real question is does the power button on the AEK still work on iOS?
    - ProllyInfamous 4mo ago
      You have to also hold down `ctrl` [+power], but yes.

  how do i press these buttons on my android phone?

    Connect Keyboard, Press PgDn. Or what I actually use for ssh on the road: https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard Google kicked it from their store because it still supports older Androids but it still works just fine on the latest versions. It's on F-Droid.

      Is there really no PgDn on a phone?!? I don't use them, but that is surprising! I would program one of my theoretical phone's physical side buttons to handle PgDn/PgUp [†] – similar to my old Kindle's layout. Do phones still have side volume buttons (e.g.)? [†] Thanks for the better styling, than my former Page_Up &c

> just scroll animations. Bad ones Scroll animations, post-grid floating voids, bouncy house dampening, hyper rounded... everything. These are the 50s Chevy fins of today. I've enjoyed working with some great designers over the years, Stanford D-School and even wild-raised. All the good ones intuitively steered clear of trends destined to be era-stamp tropes. They'd say, "I can already hear the ghosts of design-future mocking me: 'That's so early-AI' and 'Yo, the mid-20s called and wants their bento grid back.'"
