no option to disable smooth scrolling #59
Comments
I also want this option. The scroll feels very slow that I am forced to switch to other text editors. |
I'm curious as to what exactly you guys mean by "smooth scrolling" and where you find it slow? |
In most older text editors (like Leafpad and Emacs) when you scroll using PageDown/PageUp keys, the text area "flips" (or "jumps") instantly to the next page, without any animation. In the current versions of xed and gedit, on the other hand, the text area gradually scrolls to the new cursor position. The same behavior can also be seen by using "Go to Line..." and skipping ahead several lines, and (to some lesser extent) by press and hold the up/down cursor keys or by dragging the scrollbar. (For some reason, smooth scroll is not present for mouse wheel scrolling.) |
Thanks for explaining. You are comparing to things like Leafpad which are gtk2 applications. The smooth scrolling you are talking about is just "how it works" in gtk3. There is no way to disable or change it. Doing some quick testing I don't see any real speed difference between using page up/down in Leafpad vs. xed. It might give that perception but the actual speed difference seems really minimal. |
to turn off smooth scrolling in gtk3: https://askubuntu.com/questions/903160/turn-off-smooth-scrolling-in-gtk3 see Gilles answer. |
Joseph: Regardless of local desktop refresh speed, over VNC the extra scrolling animation frames are captured and sent across the internet, only to be discarded when overwritten with the final scroll position. This takes a ton of time, and is quite exacerbated when the window is large or the connection is slower, really hampering interactivity. |
If you're sensitive to scrolling behavior, and get severe migraines from smooth scrolling, fom non-scrolling sidebars, etc. then the linked article isn't accessible either. |
I'm not encountering smooth scrolling. I think disabling effects disabled that; if so, this issue can probably be closed. |
There should be a way to turn off smooth scrolling. Some people hate it with a passion.
