Enhancement: Add Scroll-to-Top Shortcut

Open awtj8o81ryywg793 opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to see a scroll-to-top shortcut added to the client.

Why would you like to do it?

Currently, scrolling back to the top of a list, whether it be a list of rooms, spaces, or similar items, is rather tedious, especially when the list contains many entries. Introducing a shortcut to return to the top of such lists would greatly enhance the user experience by offering a quick and convenient way to navigate through lengthy lists.

How would you like to achieve it?

I've presented some ideas on how such functionality could be implemented in the parent discussion.

Have you considered any alternatives?

In regard to alternative ways to implement such functionality, see the parent discussion.

Are you willing to provide a PR?

Thanks. We will ensure that clicking on the current bottom navigation item actually scrolls the current list to the top, as per many other applications' behavior.

I really appreciate that you took my feedback into account. I can see that this has been implemented in Element X (for Android) as of version 25.11.2, so thank you!

@bmarty: Do you or anyone else have any thoughts on adding scroll-to-top functionality to views that do not include the bottom navigation (e.g., the room search view)?
