Are you kidding me? Sideways scroll with no way to use my scroll wheel? It's choppy and unreadable scrolling using the scrollbar, and using the right arrow is just too slow.
- ndcrandall 13y agoJust a hint shift+scroll wheel in a lot of cases will scroll horizontally.
- werdnapk 13y agoshift+scroll appears to scroll me back and forth in my browser history (Using FF).
- evacuationdrill 13y agoI've always used alt+scroll for horizontal scrolling. Edit: doesn't seem to work on the linked page
- onli 13y agoYep it doesn't. So actually, on chrome, without an autoscroll extension, there is no way to scroll that page (apart from the with the right cursor button, which is way to slow to actually be valid) on a normal desktop pc. Happy new world.
- ToastyMallows 13y agoThanks for that hotkey!
- chrisweekly 13y agoWhat the... Something is wrong with me. I've been paid to work with computers for about 16 years, and somehow I did not know this. Heh. Thank you! :)
- dsego 13y agoSorry you have a shitty computer, or OS, or both.
- kenrikm 13y agoI think it was designed for a Macbook's excellent trackpad. That said, I can see how it would be really difficult to scroll without one.
- motoboi 13y agoThis broke the "two finger right sweep" to return to the previous page (HN). I had to touch the back button on Safari. Felt horrible about that ...
- emehrkay 13y agoI think that is Apple's mistake. I have to go into settings and turn the two finger pref/next pages to three, three finger spaces swipe to four just to avoid the problem you described. And why the hell don't they enable "tab to all controls" by default?
- raverbashing 13y agoYes, still, I only "use" this feature by mistake. especially because it's too easy to make it when scrolling up
- nknighthb 13y agoUsing a trackpad would mean I'm hunched over my laptop trying to destroy my back and neck further than I already have. Designing websites specifically for anti-ergonomic use cases is unwise.
- ultrafez 13y agoDesigning for one thing that's really good in a world of things that are average, isn't the best strategy. Reminds me of "Designed for IE6" and look where that got us.
- bfish510 13y agoI just clicked and held the middle mouse button to move to the right smoothly.
- gpjt 13y agoI kind of felt that the slowness of using the right arrow to scroll was kind of the point. Even holding it down, you're moving significantly faster than light. And it still takes an age to get anywhere.
- Shorel 13y agoMy scroll wheel has sideway tilt. However I just used the navigation icons on the top.
- ColinWright 13y agoThere are no navigation icons showing for me: FireFox 11.0
- fhars 13y agoIt is actually far too fast, several times the speed of light. If you really wanted to realize how vast and empty space is, you should make it scroll slower.
- bennyg 13y agoI think sticking to the speed of light for scrolling transitions would put things even more into perspective (though make the content a little harder to reach haha).
- TuringTest 13y agoBut if you make it realistic - have you thought of the actual size of those letters?
- ardacinar 13y agoshift + scroll wheel works okay, but really, it should have been scrolling vertically. horizontal scrolling doesn't really add anything to the site but inconvenience for the viewer.
- Semiapies 13y agoI just held down my right arrow key.
- emanuelsaringan 13y agoTry tilting your mouse 90 degrees then scroll the wheel towards the left.
- ygra 13y agoMiddle-click on empty space, move the mouse slightly right (or further, depending on the desired speed).
- iamwithnail 13y agoIt was pretty nice on an iPad...
- andyhmltn 13y agoAnnoying but I've just noticed there are icons to 'quick scroll'
- Roboprog 13y agoThe icons are the planetary symbols - e.g. the "female" symbol for Venus, the "male" symbol for Mars, and so on.
