CPU vs GPU scrolling
#4
> Many people bottleneck themselves into a crawl by limiting interactions...

Oh, this is so, indeed, including myself.
I battle the non-ergonomic and stupidly accepted without thinking interfaces.
In incoming years I intend to add some original (or good-old and forgotten) GUI features.
Scrolling with keys was left simply to have some moving, your keydown is better, but even better are two additional approaches:
- Holding Shift and a mouse/trackpad button;
- Holding a mouse/trackpad button and moving the mouse/finger.

The speed (as I remember from my GUI Dirwlaker) is hundreds of calls per second which is enough for the ultimate 240/480Hz scenarios. ThinkPads X270/A285/L490 are great in that regard (the three buttons and the trackpad form a duo serving well, yet, the left hand using the keys and right using the mouse is most ergonomic still since the wrists are resting on the desk.

Another usage case of HARDWARE scroll is for POPUPs - those sliding windows either from right-to-left or top-down or down-up waiting in the wings, many times a help window (or some finishing task) is to be quickly (at several hundreds frames) slid. I hate showing window out of nowhere - it stresses the eyes. Such simple things when mounting make the GUIs tiresome, hee-hee, tearsome also.
