Mousepad scrolling is way too fast in the prompt buffer

[Ambrevar]

Weirdly enough, mouse scrolls work perfectly fine.

is this a setting users can change? I notice that many games have this as a common setting and it seems to solve problems.

I'm pretty sure one can somehow change it via system settings and input drivers. But would be nice to isolate it to Nyxt, because other apps may be fine with the speed that's there.

I think that's the right answer and there's nothing else to do here. Closing?

[Ambrevar]

No, the issue is on Nyxt's side: the thing is that we don't use the usual scroll bar, instead we re-implement scrolling ourselves, hence this issue.

The proper solution would be, I guess, to print the whole list of suggestions in the prompt buffer, thus generating the scroll bars as part of the natural HTML view.

The final piece of the puzzle is to compute the suggestions lazily, depending on which one is in the view.

[aartaka]

Yeah, rewriting prompter as HTML/CSS-native thing would solve lots of our problems, I guess. But it's quite some piece of work :D

@Ambrevar I see it now, thanks for the clarification!

Noticing that we have some new user segments on the roadmap. Noticing that those user segments (mac) are far more likely to be using Mousepad Scrolling than our current guests.

I think this issue should be resolved in the near term : ) <3
