Smart Scroll: Get More Control Over Your Mouse Scrolling
Smart Scroll is a Mac program that gives you more control over how you scroll pages in OS X. It offers a range of features that make scrolling smoother, faster, and more comfortable. With Smart Scroll, you can enjoy iPhone-like scrolling abilities, even improving the scrolling experience on Magic Mouse and new trackpads.
One of the standout features of Smart Scroll is the reverse scrolling, similar to what you find on iOS devices. This feature allows you to scroll in the opposite direction, making it more intuitive and natural. Additionally, Smart Scroll introduces an Auto Scroll feature that enables hands-free scrolling in Safari Reader and Quick Look, reducing the time you spend manually scrolling.
Hover Scroll is another useful feature that allows you to scroll as soon as you hover the mouse cursor over a page. It eliminates the need to click or use the scroll wheel, providing a seamless scrolling experience. Furthermore, Smart Scroll includes Grab Scroll, which lets you use hand-style movements to move window contents.
The program also offers a scroll accelerator, which allows you to increase the scrolling speed of your mouse. This can be particularly useful for those who prefer faster scrolling. However, it's worth noting that Smart Scroll may work better with some applications than others. For example, users have reported that it can be "sticky" when used in Firefox, requiring the disabling of Firefox's Smooth Scrolling preference to resolve the issue.
Overall, Smart Scroll is a powerful tool that enhances your scrolling experience on Mac. Whether you're looking for smoother scrolling, iPhone-like capabilities, or hands-free scrolling, Smart Scroll has you covered.
