Option to scroll on key press without holding about scrolla.docs HOT 11 OPEN

interesting.

here's the thing. the first internal version of Scrolla was working the way you're describing. actually it somehow still works this way. the thing is if you keep pressing, it cancels the last move and adds a new move. this is what brings the smooth scrolling. it's a hack. it's possible not to cancel the last scroll of course, and to press and/or hold, but then i don't see how i can get the smooth scrolling. am i missing something or Vimari doesn't do smooth scrolling? (i'm on battery. maybe a energy efficient thing?)

Vimium and Vimari work differently indeed. Scrolla currently works like Vimium.

i'm thinking about making this an option. like scroll type: hold, smooth or press, rough.

Vimari has the setting "smoothScroll". I have it set to true, maybe yours is false?

On top of that, Vimari has "scrollSize" and "scrollDuration" which define the distance, time and speed of an individual scroll (key press). Having these three settings would be the perfect setup for me. I guess at least the scrollSize would have to be settable for jk, ud etc individually.

turned on yes. definitely not smooth for me.

from scrolla.docs.

oh ok. if you do one press yes, it's smooth. if you keep pressing, or hold, then it's not smooth. at least not in my case. running on real electricity now.

For me it's very smooth🤷

Holding & pressing the up/down keys with these settings:

{
  "scrollSize": 300,
  "smoothScroll": true,
  "scrollDuration": 25
}

Hope the video plays properly

hmm. changed from 150 to 300. still not as smooth as yours. strange.

My full completely random settings:

{
  "excludedUrls": "",
  "linkHintCharacters": "qwrf;zm,",
  "detectByCursorStyle": false,
  "scrollSize": 300,
  "openTabUrl": "about:blank",
  "modifier": "",
  "smoothScroll": true,
  "scrollDuration": 25,
  "transparentBindings": true,
  "bindings": {
      "hintToggle": "ctrl+f",
      "newTabHintToggle": "ctrl+shift+f",
      "scrollUp": "up",
      "scrollDown": "down",
      "scrollLeft": "left",
      "scrollRight": "right",
      "scrollUpHalfPage": "",
      "scrollDownHalfPage": "",
      "goToPageTop": "",
      "goToPageBottom": "",
      "goToFirstInput": "",
      "goBack": "",
      "goForward": "",
      "reload": "",
      "tabForward": "",
      "tabBack": "",
      "closeTab": "",
      "openTab": ""
  }
}

(I was trying to use it with kV last time I used it so I had everything disabled and just wanted it to scroll)

from scrolla.docs.

same. maybe just my perception. i find Sl smoother. anyways, will try to add a not holding mode.

from scrolla.docs.

not sure where this is going because scrolling properly without holding and/or while holding requires different work combined together, but here's some research that may help (for myself):
