feature request: scroll margin

Post by *maxy »

First of all, hello to everybody on this forum and thanks Mr Ghisler for great program.

When scrolling down with the down arrow on the keyboard and when cursor comes to the last file while you are still holding down arrow, window starts to scroll, but you can't see file that comes next. IMO it would be better if window will start scroll 5 or 10 rows before last file. Forte Agent have this feature and I think that it would be good for file manager.

A good option

:)   Hello!
Welcome on board!

• The feature you wish should be handy for users who are "key-lovers".
It could be a future option...
• Currently, you could press the "End" key, and scroll as reverse, if you have not thousands files in the pannel...
• The mouse-wheel allows too to scroll the pannel. You can adjust the step for n... rows in Windows.
• So, you see at least 1...2...3... files beyond the last one.

:mrgreen:   Kind regards,
Claude

Good Idea. But as a workaround you can use Ctrl + F1 - short view of files, and if there are not filenames with more than 60 characters you will see at least 2 rows side by side. And now you can not only move up and down through the files but left and right, too.
