How to speed up the scrolling?

Open didibus opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Thanks a lot for this package, it makes Emacs feel so much better and modern.

One question I had was if there is a way to configure something, so it scrolls a little faster?

When I scroll in other apps, the same amount of movement results in twice as much scrolling, whereas in Emacs with good-scroll it is scrolling only about half the rate, so I need to physically scroll more (or it seems scroll the same amount but faster) to get the same effect.

Thanks

Glad you like the package! You can set the good-scroll-step variable to change how much one scroll event scrolls, and you can change good-scroll-duration to edit the animation speed.

Thanks, I toyed with those, but nothing gave me exactly what I was looking for. Then I thought, maybe it's because Emacs itself takes longer to register a scroll event. And if I try C-h k, I see that it takes me moving my fingers for longer distances on the trackpad before Emacs shows mouse-4. Where-as in Chrome for example, moving a smaller distance starts scrolling immediately.

Not sure there'd be a fix to this, seems Emacs just takes longer to register a scroll up/down from my trackpad.

Hmm, it probably depends on your OS and trackpad drivers.

Hello there! I am on macOS and feeling experience the same as @didibus. It takes longer swipes to "start scrolling".
