As soon as Writer allows for a static standard scroll bar that doesn't auto-hide, I will. Call me irrational, but I cannot use an application based around scrolling with no real scroll bar.
You can use "pg up" and "pg dn" to scroll. That's what I use and it also helps that my laptop has a touchscreen so I have no complaints about scrolling around my work in LibreOffice
I'll try those keys. But when you have a document with multiple chapters, the actual buttons on a scroll bar that is full width and static are pretty critical. Not everyone uses it for TPS reports.
And why the hell does a desktop app need a mobile scroll anyway. Jesus Fuck, just give me the extra 5 pixels you psychopath.
5 pixels are a lot smaller than you might imagine especially if you run a 4k display 😅
