Scroll Mode

You can enter Scroll Mode with the command.enterScrollMode command. You can also assign a dedicated shortcut for this mode.

After entering Scroll Mode, all scrollable areas are highlighted and assigned a hint. Type the hint to move the cursor to that area and activate scrolling.

Besides the active window, Scroll Mode can also detect scrollable areas from the previous window in the current Space. This helps when the thing you want to scroll is visually behind the frontmost window but still easy to identify.

You can scroll in four directions with movement keys, and use modifier keys to adjust scroll distance. Movement keys map to different keyboard keys depending on the layout you choose.

Scroll Mode does not capture the system arrow keys for scrolling. Arrow keys continue to go to the foreground app.

You can also:

  • Press number keys to jump to scroll positions by percentage.
  • Press Command + R to reload detectable scroll areas.
