In a few years mankind will "discover" the scroll bar and the inventor will be hailed a hero.
and few years later they will re-discover the Home keyboard key.

#62Is there any way to tell Chrome not to make sound unless I explicitly want it? Maybe I have less tolerance than most people, but I just can't stand it when my computer makes unexpected noise.
Right click mute tab (i think it might be experimental)
Haha, it used not to be, but then Google crippled the feature. Firefox is looking better by the day.

#63A real elevator would have stopped at each level.

#64That's the point of this library ? It scroll up slowing, harmful to my eyes. I'd rather "teleport to the top" or quickly scroll to top on my own than watching the animation… And I cannot cancel the scrolling in the middle of process if I accidentally click it.
He did it for fun. From the Github:
> Finally, a "back to top" button that behaves like a real elevator, by adding elevator music to quietly soothe the awkwardness that can ensue when being smoothly scrolled to the top of the screen. This is very serious stuff, here's a demo!

#65This is fun, but on the serious note, we should not be modifying the scroll behaviour of the browser in any way. It is not as usable.
It's not a bad argument. Similarly, I think everyday life would also be confusing if the laws of physics changed depending on what restaurant you walked into.

I have issues with Firefox as well.
1 problem in a browser is most definitely not enough to discourage it.
- I use both btw.

#67Can we just go back to buttons that _jump_ straight to the top instead of scrolling? Please?
What problem is this even trying to solve?

#68The "back to top" functionality is so useful in web pages. I wish they would make a dedicated button on keyboards that just takes you to the top of the page. Better yet, it can work in other apps too! It could, for example, take you to the beginning of a line when you're writing text.
Edit: Wow, I thought I was going the extra mile to make the joke obvious by saying the key should also take you to the beginning of a text line, but I guess it wasn't obvious enough for the first 3 commentators.

If I understand correctly you are talking about a button that already exists on most keebs and is called HOME.
