Best marketing site for any of my apps so far: Scrolla.app
I'm lazy af. Can't be bothered moving the hands away from the keyboard.
No license. Scrolla is free. It's not open-source because it's sharing private packages with kindaVim and Wooshy. But maybe one day. But most probably never.
Navigate through the different detected Scroll Areas of the frontmost window with:
| scroll area | key |
|---|---|
| next | tab or down or control n or J |
| previous | shift tab or up or control p or K |
| first | command up |
| last | command down |
| halfway up | control up |
| halfway down | control down |
| exit | escape or return or i or your global hotkey |
If you use kindaVim, then you'll be able to navigate with Vim moves by entering Normal Mode and:
| scroll area | kindaVim move |
|---|---|
| next | j or down or control j or control n |
| previous | k or up or control p |
| first | gg |
| last | G |
| halfway up | control b or control u |
| halfway down | control f or control d |
For the web and some shit apps (Electron, Java) Scrolla cannot detect the Scroll Areas automatically. For those cases you can move the cursor manually with:
| focused window | key |
|---|---|
| top left | 1 |
| top middle | 2 |
| top right | 3 |
| middle left | 4 |
| middle middle | 5 |
| middle right | 6 |
| bottom left | 7 |
| bottom middle | 8 |
| bottom right | 9 |
The placement is not mathematically precise. Instead, Scrolla moves the cursor to a location that is more likely to be within a Scroll Area.
Scroll with:
| scroll area | key |
|---|---|
| up a bit | k |
| right a bit | l |
| down a bit | j |
| left a bit | h |
| up a lot | u or control u or b or control b or shift space |
| down a lot | d or control d or f or control f or space |
| to the top | gg |
| to the most right | $ |
| to the bottom | G |
| to the most left | 0 |
Scrolla sends Distributed Notifications to macOS when it starts highlighing Areas, and when it backs off. You can listen to those Notifications with external tools like BetterTouchTool or Hammerspoon and build your own custom workflows as a result of those Notifications.
The Notifications Names are:
- ScrollaDidEngage
- ScrollaDidDisengage
You can control Scrolla programmatically by calling the following Custom URLs:
- start:
scrolla://start - stop:
scrolla://stop - toggle:
scrolla://toggle
- custom key mapping
- stop stealing focus from current window
- Vimac (open source, free)
- Keyboard Scroller (closed source, free)
- Homerow (closed source, one time purchase)
