Scroll Mode
Once active, every scrollable area is highlighted and given a hint. Type the hint to move the cursor there and start scrolling.
Beyond the active window#
Scroll Mode also detects scrollable areas in previous windows in the current Space, which helps when what you want to scroll sits visually behind the front window but is still easy to identify.
It can include scrollable areas from favorite windows too. Favorite a window from Element Menu Mode: open the menu for the focused window or an element inside it, then choose Favorite Window.
Configure how many supplementary windows are included in Settings → Scroll Mode → Supplementary Windows, or with scrollMode.supplementaryWindows in conf.toml. A per-source limit of 0 excludes that source; the total limit caps the count after deduplication. See Configuration.
Scrolling#
Scroll in four directions with the movement keys, which follow the layout you chose during setup. Modifier keys adjust the distance.
You can also:
- Press number keys to jump to a scroll position by percentage.
- Press
Command + Rto reload detectable scroll areas.
Arrow keys are deliberately not captured for scrolling, so they keep reaching the foreground app.
Scroll Mode is an Unlocked feature, as is selecting regions across current and supplementary windows at once. See Plans and Licensing.
