pgup pgdown sensitivity a scroll up or down command

Post by MedBooster »

is there a way to make the page up and down key scroll much less... like the arrow key does when it has not selected an element/comment?
I could not find a scroll up or down command in the shortcuts panel

when I change pages I use the left and right arrow keys anyways, or ctrl ←→ to force a page switch

also, can you finally assign shortcuts to pgup and pgdown + ctrl or shift or altgr?

Hello MedBooster,

Page Up/Down, as well as a few other keys (e.g. Esc, Del), are hard coded and can not be customized.
The slower scrolling will have to be done either with the mouse or with the arrow keys.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Of course, zooming in and out can change the amount of viewed "real estate" each scroll action causes.
All best,

I might just use PowerToys (it has a key remapping feature)
to remap pgup/down into scroll up/down

Or an Autohotkey script lke this

Code: Select all

^!PgUp::Send {Up 15}
^!PgDn::Send {Down 15}
Again I confused a global setting with in-program settings.

I think you brushed past my settings question though, but it seems like the pg up/down key can be used in keyboard shortuts in version 366 without any issues – arrow keys as well.

Yeah, I don't think there is a way to set it to a custom amount to scroll like your 15 lines script.

I assume because you are keyboard oriented that the Scroll Wheel button scrolling isn't suited to the task?

But again, the autohotkey script is better than remapping the pgup key with PowerToys. If you remap it, you are not able to use it as a dedicated shortcut button anymore, with combination keys.

I have to say, that touchpad with gesture controls on it looks an awful lot like a generic laptop touchpad :wink:
But in all seriousness, I do think you are correct that setting up AHK scripts will probably be the best solution for your unique use case here.
