Mostly depends by my current task... If I am just in reading mode I use [1] ; but when I need to search or scrolling faster I would do [2] ; however if my hands are on the keyboard thus definitely [3] … ^^' · · 1 year ago

For the sake of participation, it’s a mix of both [1] and [2] if the former indicates holding the middle click button in order to drag the mouse in the direction of the page that’s being scrolled through. I only do [3] over command lines or w/ pgup/down. · 1 year ago

Neither, because I’m on iOS most of the time w/ Gspace. :x · 1 year ago

@ivanodin they're the opposite of one another. 2 is standard on mac I think · 1 year ago

[1] I use arrows if I'm in a pure terminal but past that it's wheel the 90s way all the way. I remember when wheeled mice first came out with the MS intellimouse. The wheel allowing me to scroll with a single finger resting on the mouse… mmmm … was sold instantly.

Was really important back then too, because everything was that 90s RAD application development where you drag and drop everything and help files that you had to scroll through for API docs. So my hand was already hover the mouse constantly. · 1 year ago

[1], and I make sure to switch the scroll direction away from ‘natural’ if I’m going to use a computer for long · 1 year ago

👽 averphos

Pretty much a combination of [1], [3] and Autoscroll (middle click + move mouse) · 1 year ago
