  • This is out of date. Nautilus supports smooth scrolling at least in 14.04.

  • @Vincenzo: lol. It's needed in GTK+ first, then Nautilus will get it automatically.

  • Just an observation, is smooth scroll available in KDE ?

  • Thank you Roland. I noticed that Dolphin of KDE 4.5-4.6 works smoother. Perhaps, it a matter of programming platform.

Use a recent version of Nautilus that includes smooth scrolling (introduced in GTK 3 or so). Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 have smooth scrolling in Nautilus and other GTK3 apps.

  • Does it work for mouse also? or just the trackpads?

  • I don't know that I have a mouse that is "smooth", the mouse wheel is usually step by step.

  • Could you tell which mouse do you use?

  • One that feels like it moves in steps.

  • I mean which brand and model. I use logitech gaming mouse, it also moves in steps, but the scrolling is not smooth, except in Firefox, which has implemented the smooth scrolling itself.

I'm not a programer but I'm not sure it's a gtk+ problem, it seems more like a mouse configuration problem. If you scroll down with the mouse wheel it scrolls jumping 3 lines each little movement you do (sorry I can explain it better, my english...) but if you scroll down by clicking the side bar and dragging it down, the scrolling is perfectly smooth.

What I mean is, it CAN be a smooth scroll, the problem is in the way the scrolling is made trough the mouse wheel. Somebody could do a hack so the mouse wheel somehow "emulates" the sidebar click-and-drag.

I whish it helps. Cheers

  • Hi! I will be very glad if (may be) later somebody will implement such behaviour for smooth scrolling.
