Hello,

I discovered that when scrolling with the mouse wheel while
`pixel-scroll-precision-mode' is enabled `window-scroll-functions' are
not run.  Should they be?


TIA,

Michael.

Are you saying that window-scroll-functions are _never_ run, no matter
how far and for how long you are scrolling?  Or are they sometimes run
and sometimes not, like only if you scroll far enough?

IIRC this is due to how pixel-scroll-precision-mode calls
set-window-start with NOFORCE set to t.

Patches welcome, but please make sure they do not slow precision
scrolling down.

We should probably call window-scroll-functions once in several
scrolls, approximately, once every text line worth of scrolling or
something.

No, never, as far as I can tell.

So I guess we should add calls to window-scroll-functions inside
pixel-scroll.el functions which actually scroll.  Patches welcome.

pixel-scroll-mode (without "precision") already behaves correctly,
AFAICT.

pixel-scroll-precision-mode has basically one command in its minor mode
map that does not call the w-s-functions: `pixel-scroll-precision'.

So the naïve approach would be: call `window-scroll-functions' at the
end of that command.  Is this the right direction?  Else I guess I'm not
qualified here.  Haven't checked that momentum stuff (for scrolling) yet.


Thanks,

Michael.

Each command would be too often, I think, since this could be every
pixel.  So I thought about some factor, perhaps configurable via a
variable, that would cause the call to be done every N pixels of
scroll.

WDYT?

Don't all other scroll commands scroll after every single command
invocation?  Why is this one different?  The scroll amounts are finer
grained, but the amounts are not smaller.  AFAIU the w-scroll-functions
would not be called for each single scrolled pixel.


Michael.

Because you might make scrolling much slower if you call the scroll
functions every pixel.

Sorry that I repeat myself, but I don't understand why that would
happen.  This is what I tried:

I don't see the hook called for each pixel.  What do you mean?


A second thing I wonder about: the docstring of
`window-scroll-functions' says:

| These functions are called whenever the `window-start' marker is modified,
| either to point into another buffer (e.g. via `set-window-buffer') or another
| place in the same buffer.

Is this correct and complete?  Is the window-start marker modified in
our scenario?  If it is, why do we have to call the hook explicitly?  If
it is not, should we update that marker?


TIA,

Michael.

Each time you do the smallest possible scroll, by how many pixels, or
by what fraction of the screen-line's height does Emacs scroll the
window?  IOW, by how many pixels is the display scrolled for each call
to window-scroll-functions?

Precision pixel-scrolling supports many different devices (mice and
touch-pads), which can scroll at very different resolutions.  The
possibility that window-scroll-functions be called too frequently
depends on what exactly do your device and your Emacs build support in
this scenario, and I don't yet have a clear idea about that, since you
didn't tell.

More or less.  (I don't like how it explains this stuff by using
internal implementation detail, but I cannot think of a better
explanation that is still accurate enough.)

> Is the window-start marker modified in our scenario?

Not in the way that the "usual" scrolling commands do.  This mode uses
non-nil 3rd argument to set-window-start.  So the display engine
doesn't know that the window is scrolled.

I feel a bit lost.  What should I tell?  I have no idea what I could
know about this that you don't already know.

But I understand that what I see when scrolling with a normal wheel
mouse is only one case we need to handle.  AFAIU, scrolling by
dragging the vertical scroll bar is not handled by precision scrolling.

So we speak about touch events (although
`pixel-scroll-precision-mode-map' only binds <touch-end>, but that event
may also be generated very often) and mice with a more or less
continuous scroll wheel (or ball) and such things.

I don't have access to such a device and really feel uncomfortable to
suggest a patch for these cases I must admit.

Or would you suggest to call the window-scroll functions just after a
certain time limit?  A pixel-delta limit would probably not be
sufficient, since we want to call the functions also for small scroll
amounts if they are not directly followed by another scroll (I guess).

So do we just want to use a timer for this?  Or use a combination of
those approaches (scrolling farther than a certain amount fires the
scroll functions immediately, but also small amounts call them if the
user doesn't scroll after delta more milliseconds)?


Michael.

I hoped you will answer the specific questions I asked, quoted above.
But since you don't have a device to actually observe
pixel-scroll-precision-mode on your system, something I didn't know
until now, I guess you cannot answer them?  (I also don't have access
to a suitable system, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you with the
questions.)

Right.  Though on such a system, we should probably call
window-scroll-functions every scroll.

Correct.

Yes, capable mice (which also require a capable system to support
them), and touch pads.

I don't think a timer would be appropriate here.

Not necessarily.  To see a similar situation, disable
image-auto-resize mode, visit a large image, and scroll with C-n or
C-p: you won't see window-scroll-functions called at all.  That's
basically what pixel-scroll-precision-mode works: it uses the window's
vscroll, like we do with tall images.

[ I'm sorry, I totally misunderstood your question as rhetorical, for me
to think and understand ]

I'm using a normal wheel mouse.  I have nevertheless enabled
`pixel-scroll-precision-mode' for two reasons: I want to have the
animated "smooth scrolling" like known from browsers, which looks nicer
and seems to be better for the eyes/ the brain.  And I want to get a
better scrolling experience for images (pdf, and such things).

And the answer to your question is: I get a scroll amount of
approximately 7 lines per <wheel-up> or <wheel-down> event.  I
configured pixel-scroll-precision-interpolation-factor to 1.5, the
original value of 2.0 was a bit too large in my experience.

Is receiving <wheel-up> and <wheel-down> events a sufficient hint that
the user is scrolling using a "normal" wheel mouse?

I'm not sure, but Po Lu will know.

In any case, AFAIR some mice produce mouse-4 and mouse-5 events
instead, so relying on the events' symbols might not be the best
idea.  We are supposed to know whether the device supports pixel
precision, so maybe basing the decision on that is better?

Try:

  (device-class last-event-frame last-event-device)

but I will eventually get around to replacing this with some virtual
modifier key in Emacs 30.

No idea.  Hoping Po Lu can help.

So, would this already be good enough as a start?

AFAIU, in that branch of the code we know that we are presumably dealing
with a mouse or we scrolled by a larger amount.

What if you are scrolling with a touch pad or core pointer that never
triggers the ``large scroll'' options?

Either way, please make sure it stays fast (or at least put it behind an
option which is off by default.)

If window-scroll-functions are not called, then it stays tolerable for
many people.  But users will become extremely annoyed if precision pixel
scrolling becomes too slow.

That is also my question!

How can I be sure it stays fast?  It's obviously the right thing for my
setup, but I have _zero_ experience with other setups (devices).  If you
have, help would be very appreciated.

Michael.

I suggest adding a new counter to the kinetic state which counts the
number of pixels scrolled, taking into account the direction of the
scroll.  Then, once (abs counter) exceeds the line height, run
window-scroll-functions.

Alternatively, do that every time set-window-start is called.

I'd recommend asking people to try it, especially with editing modes
that have lots of gizmos (``lsp-ui'' seems to be one of those, whatever
it is.)
