Sorry, I don't understand what you mean :-(

AM> The scrollbar moves you from page to page but tell me which you prefer:
AM> Open a long html message and scroll through it, or scroll through a
AM> webpage on your browser using the arrow keys, or rptd'ly hit the
AM> page-down button. Which method makes you read the text more smoothly?
Well, I use a mouse scroll wheel :)))
... but I think you're true.
AM> I'd say the arrow key method. The page down method isn't as nice at all.
AM> Or are you proposing that the spacebar be used for scrolling? If so then
AM> that's a no no. The arrow keys are for that.
No, I thought you wanted to *replace* the spacebar by the arrows, for
doing the same thing. For that, I prefer the space. But now, I
understand you want to have a *smooth* scrolling, what is an other
thing. For people who don't like mice, yes, this may be a comfortable
feature. So, even if *I* will go on with the mouse, why not ?
For me, a kind of "reverse space bar", acting like PgUp, would be more
useful.
