Subject: [sup-talk] Smooth Paging
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:17:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1249053249-sup-9884@Longbow> (raw)

Hello,

One thing's that I've found a bit suboptimal in Sup has been the paging
ie. scrolling of e-mails. When you reach the bottom, it scrolls the
whole page up, rather than scrolling smoothly as might be the default
behaviour of Vim for example.

I find this really awkward at times, since I can't see what I just read
while reading the next line. It's also just kind of jumpy. One main use
case that his damages is when I'm doing patch review on mailing lists
and stuff.

I'll open a long e-mail with diffs in it, and I will be scrolling to see
the patch. Then, as I reach the bottom, it jumps and hides what I just
read, making understanding code logic painful at times. So then I have
to jump up and down some more to figure it out, but that sucks because I
have to look between the top and bottom of the screen.

What do you guys think?
