Talk:Usability for Nerds/Software/Scrolling

Hi again, Agner !

There are some points which should be mentioned. Like the keyboards, namely their incorrect layout (mentioned earlier), the wheels do share the same problem. Ideally they should allow scrolling in 2 dimensions, i.e. there should be a ball instead of scroller wheel or a mini touch pad to recognize scrolling in 2 directions (already implemented by Genius (the company)). Please mention it, or I could edit the article some time later when I find the right words to put it properly (I'm too lazy to do it right now).

For moving up or down - there are cases when you obstruct the field of view by scrolling the text, so in such cases it probably makes sense to move the text instead of the window, since otherwise it might cause problems with the possible piece of text you are going to see outright. In such case the approach to move the text itself is the correct one. For other cases, I'm not sure myself.


 * Scrolling in two dimensions is already mentioned. It would not be good to mix the two opposite metaphors for scrolling, that would be very frustrating. Please sign your comments with four thildas: ~ ~ ~ ~. Agnerf (discuss • contribs) 05:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Some offtopic: today I felt less lazy and created this account, for discussion (or possibly trolling if ignored). Agner, could you finally explain your attitude (possibly private), as it looks increasingly more attractive to change the direction to complex trolling, especially in the light of your (most likely) last emotional response (the experience with trolling high level marketing representatives, professional liars, was already mentioned - which essentially would render your attempt to fight it in normal way not very efficient, to say at least, even now the amount of your emotional discomfort over the whole time is already quite high (and your ability to effectively respond in offensive way was already estimated by reading your cultural research - from the point of trolling possibility you made 2 major mistakes - 1. not very high level of the research itself, 2. your emotional considerations there = in such a light it would be safer to gather/copy/paste some information for academic points, like it is done by many academic workers - and, hence, your chances to counter trolling even on the par of high level marketing liars are considered low)) ? Again, you don't have to be polite with me personally, I only pay attention to actual points made. Just Coder (discuss • contribs) 18:50, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
