Smooth scrolling support for mouse too, not just touchpad #71

Closed sprite-1 closed 4 years ago

sprite-1 commented 5 years ago

It would really add to the overall experience IMO if the scroll smoothing not only worked on the touchpad, but with the mouse too.

This has nothing to do with the switchboard plug, or even with libinput. It needs to be done in GTK, similar to how it's done in WebKit/Epiphany.

There's no way to patch it on the elementary side of things?

alice-mkh commented 4 years ago

It's not really relevant. If there's code written, upstreaming it isn't a problem, but there's no code.

sprite-1 commented 4 years ago

I meant, is there no way for elementary to implement its own smooth scrolling for the system as a whole? I'm not familiar with GTK that's why I'm asking but I don't think it would be impossible

alice-mkh commented 4 years ago

Well, you can have every single elementary app manually implement it. That's possible, though why?

For the system as a whole - no.

sprite-1 commented 4 years ago

For the system as a whole - no.

If not true smooth scrolling then can the scroll animation at least be smoothed over then?

alice-mkh commented 4 years ago

That's also GTK job. As said, you can write your own scrolling widget that animates scrolling and make every single elementary app use it. But it would be a lot easier to, you know, implement that in GTK.

sprite-1 commented 4 years ago

Right, are the GTK team willing to accept PRs if for example, the elementary team added support for it and pushed their changes?

alice-mkh commented 4 years ago

Why not? Also, there isn't a "GTK team", it's also all volunteers (well, there are a couple paid people from different companies, but that's it)

I'm going to close this as "Out of Scope" since this is a Gtk issue
