Subject: Features: Scroll wheel/ball, right bar
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2005 18:33:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <03D46CE0-E961-471E-94AD-1695873A00C8@math.su.se> (raw)
At least the GNU Bison list is used for feature suggestions, so here
for Emacs:
Under Mac OS X, I use a mouse with scroll wheel, and Apple now even
has a mouse with a scroll ball, both which are used to scroll the
frames within a window. When I now use emacs21, from Fink (under Mac
OS 10.4.3), I feel somewhat hampered in not being able to do that. In
the Mac OS X X11 X Window server, uxterm (and xterm), support scroll
both in the frame and in the scroll-bar. In xman, scroll is supported
only in the frame (not the scroll-bar). So it would be nice and help
up user efficiency to have such a feature.
In addition, uxterm has a -rightbar, which puts the scroll-bar to the
right, which I am Mac user is used to. Now, I think that might even
have a -bothbar option, putting a scroll-bar both left and right, as
there is a principle that efficiency in work is inversely
proportional to the time it takes to move the pointer to the area of
action. One could then choose the bar that is closest to the pointer.
