Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources It would be nice, if rekonq had a smooth scrolling feature, like the other big browsers (and afaik Okular) do. Since this probably is a bit CPU intensive an option to disable it would be a good idea too. Thanks ;-)
Might be helpful: http://trac.kmess.org/changeset/5788 KMess implementation of smooth scrolling (with QWebview) in the chatmessage view.

Sure! thanks...
the KMess implementation might not be helpful after all, as it only "smooth scrolls" when you receive a new chat message, which is not applicable to rekonq, right? :-P

Will be implemented in rekonq 0.5 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 197519 ***
hi, sorry for reopening this, but "smooth scroll" ≠ "Auto scroll" :-P with smooth scroll I mean the "effect", that when scrolling in the webpage, the scrolling process is "smooth" (e.g. like in Firefox or Konqueror). I hope this makes things clear :-) :-)

Autoscroll is when the app is scrolling automatically: e.g. open up Okular and press "Shift + Arrow Down" it will automatically scroll the document. Konqueror and Firefox offer the same behaviour (if you enable the option).
uhm.. after you explained me the difference, now I can say: while I'm quite sure we can "easily" implement auto scroll, I have no clue about letting scroll smooth.

Anyone was thinking about kinetic scrolling for touchpad/touchscreen users?
@Roman: Could you explain a bit in detail what kinetic scrolling is? :-) Thanks!
Id better link a video showing that. Its feature used at most on cell phones. It means that you will "scroll" a bit and screen isnt stopping scrolling right when you stop. It just slows until it stops. Its good to keep a track with eye and its smooth. And eye candy :) With growing userbase of touchscreens this will be necessary anyway.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pCVrltKOGQ
the webbrowser plasmoid, which AFAIK is using WebKit too, does have both: Smooth scrolling and kinetic scrolling. I don't know whether it uses some kind of Plasma animation for this, but it is very nice (although the scrolling steps are way too big for a browser imho)
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/generic/applets/webbrowser/
as said, I think this is an upstream feature. The reason because the plasmoid has it is because they use a QGraphicsWebView rather than a QWebView
Yoann created a branch which adds a (quite nicely working) smooth scrolling implementation http://gitorious.org/~yoann21/rekonq/yoann21-clone/commits/smoothScroll As far as I can see it does not work "kinetically" though (see Romans comments for this :-P)
(In reply to comment #17) > As far as I can see it does not work "kinetically" though (see Romans comments > for this :-P) With a mouse, I think smooth scrolling is better. But I can create another option to add the kinetic scrolling. (which is easier to implement)
I must agree that smooth scrolling is pretty much better for using with mouse, but kinetic scrolling will be much better for laptop users. +1 vote for option for kinetic scrolling.
I don't know anything about coding, but I was reading this post* which reminded me of the exchange in the present feature request, so I thought his work may be of help. By the way, kinetic scrolling would be a nice implementation. * http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/well-im-standing-on-a-corner-in-winslow-arizona-such-a-fine-site-to-see-its-a-plasmascrollwidget-my-lord/
Merged in rekonq 0.5.54.
