Like, you'll get used to inverted scroll in Mountain Lion? Innovation takes getting used to, evolution doesn't.
Loved that feature, it feels so much more natural. It was only a problem when I had to use a windows computer for like 5 minutes and everything was inverted again.
Yeah, that is how I felt at first as well. But I regularly use a Windows VM / Remote Desktop Client for Windows on my Mac, so I've gotten used to scrolling one way in the VM window or the RDC, and the other way outside it in the rest of my Mac.
Now, for better or worse, I have no problems switching my scrolling when I'm using someone's Windows computer.

#193simply kewl! It makes reading so natural.
Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#194I dislike pagination, honestly, and find the scrolling effect a little too jarring. However the scrolling effect DID actually remind me of my own natural behaviour. I tend to either randomly selecting and unselecting the paragraph I'm focusing on, or highlighting the first paragraph and holding the mouse button down, to incrementally select the text on a page as I read it/scroll. At first glance I could maybe see mys…

I too am a dedicated highlight-reader, precisely because it's so easy to lose my place when scrolling. I found myself reading somewhat slower (perhaps due to trying to understand what was going on and how it worked), but I wasn't clicking the mouse maniacally, either.
Hey guys, I'm designing an annotation product that uses highlighting as part of the control scheme, and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to test it at some point in the future and see if it interferes with your reading habits. You guys are hard to find! Also, any other 'highlight readers' if you reply here or PM me I would be very grateful.

Cool. Not everyone with strabismus has the same symptoms, right? It depends on many factors, as I'm sure you know, which is why I tried to give a bit more info on myself. When I had my third eye surgery (due to my strabismic eyes) around 1995, they told me reading from line to line would be harder at first. And they were right. At this point, though, they had gone into my eyes before I was 5 twice and had cut and the…
Another strabismic person weighing in ;) (Is that even the right word? People just call me cross-eyed...) I had eye surgerie(s?) when I was very young and don't really remember them. They probably helped, but I've avoided further surgery due to the "guinea pig" impression you describe, and the fact that I don't feel like my vision is severely inhibited. My depth perception is probably worse than that of other people,…
Ah! Hey, I'm willing to agree that it might just be my googly-eyes that this works for :)
This question is for all of you with strabismic (yes, it is a word :D) eyes: Do you 'see' 3D movies? Or are all of them flat with red, blue and various outlines on the screen? For me, it's the latter. Now I have no idea if this has to do with this condition or is something else!

#197I'd like this scrolling scheme a lot better if there was some physical feedback on my mouse. Basically, I'd like there to be a little detent feeling at the end of the page, so that I know when I'd scrolled a complete page.
Without a force-feedback mouse... I guess I'd prefer if there was a little bit of "edge resistance" or something going from one page to the next.
Otherwise, I'm OK with just hitting page-down to go to the next part of the page. It would be nice if browsers were a little smarter, and tried to not cut off text at the top edge. So in other words, when you hit page-down, you will see a complete line of text at the top.

#198I think the best solution to this problem is to keep your fixation point and move the text.
Implemented beautifully in ForceFeed (http://qwerjk.com/force-feed) which is currently down :(
Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#199I don't care if this is usefull or not (I think it probably is).
It's pretty cool.
Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#200I agree with munificent, with the precision of the scroll in the current implementation, but that seems trivially fixed with a snapping behavior.
There are keyboard short cuts and clickable side arrows to turn the page, though why they decided to override [space] with autoscroll, I cannot comprehend.
The scrolling feels backwards, now that I'm gotten used to Apple's tablet-style reversal on the touchpads. I'm sure this makes sense on a scroll wheel. Not sure if there is a way to detect the default scroll mechanism.
Overall, thumbs up for many long article applications.
