Sensitivity too high

Wallhaven browser scroll sensitivity too high

When browsing Wallhaven wallpapers in the wallpaper selector, the scroll sensitivity is extremely high, making it very difficult to browse through results smoothly.

To Reproduce:

1. Open the wallpaper selector (skwd wall toggle)
2. Navigate to the Wallhaven browser tab
3. Try to scroll through the results

Scroll is too fast/sensitive, making it hard to browse. Arrow keys do not work as an alternative.

Environment:

• OS: Garuda Linux (Arch-based)
• Compositor: Hyprland
• Input device: touchpad/mouse scroll wheel

Hi @mattia-viga,

I cannot reproduce this, but enabling keyboard navigation is an excellent idea.
Does the same thing happen if you put Skwd-wall into Wall mode for the main selector view? I would assume the issue may have something to do with I assume you scrolling using your touchpad, as the animation is based per scroll event.

Hi @liixini

I managed to get arrow key navigation working in the Wallhaven browser by making two changes to WallhavenBrowser.qml:

1. Added focus: true and a Keys.onPressed handler to the GridView, using positionViewAtIndex(idx, GridView.Contain) to keep the view following the selection.
2. Replaced the searchInput.forceActiveFocus() calls in onBrowserVisibleChanged and onWhServiceChanged with resultsGrid.forceActiveFocus(), so the grid gets focus when the browser opens instead of the search box.

Thank you

Hi @liixini ,
I experienced the same issue with the touchpad input, but not with the mouse scroll wheel. I am using niri on NixOS.
This also happens in the Slice wallpaper selector, although ther I can use arrow keys to navigate

Hello,

I've added a preventive measure for this, so if you could try it out and see if it helped I'd appreciate it - I don't have any hardware accessible for me to test this on.
