How do I set the scroll amount for keybindings in zathurarc?

I want something like:

map <Left> scroll left 30
map <Right> scroll right 30
map <A-Left> scroll left 5
map <A-Right> scroll right 5

This would be something to look for in girara, though I don't think there is such an option. In any case, I would argue that the scroll speed/amount is something that would rather be configured inside your window manager/compositor.

@valoq I am using macOS, so there isn't a good window manager. I can do this using Hammerspoon or BetterTouchTool, but Hammerspoon is buggy in setting app-specific hotkeys, and BetterTouchTool drains the battery. It would be much better if this was implemented in the app itself.

Maybe what you are looking for can be set by "scroll-step" in zathurarc

e.g. add this to your config: 'set scroll-step 100' (the default value is 40)

You can find the details in the zathurarc man page

@valoq Thanks, I already use those options. The problem is that I want different hotkeys to scroll by different amounts. (The scroll-step also messes up trackpad scrolling.)

Ah, I think you could use a custom key mapping for that:

map <keyA-keyB> scroll-step 100
map <keyA-keyC> scroll-step 40

This would set the general scroll speed.

The zathura man page mentions custom functions as well, though I never tried those. They might help you build something that changes the speed only for a single key mapping.
