I like to use the default options when I can of having it set to automatic and jump to the next page when I'm using a trackpad on my MacBook and on my MacPro so it's very easy for me to use two fingers to scroll and anytime I want to see where I am in a document I can kind of scroll up and down just a little bit to see it appear there. I can still click and drag the scroll bar thumb itself to get to where I want. I can jump to the top, I can jump to the middle. So if I wanted to jump to the end of the document I can click down there near the end and it jumps to the end. I can change that behavior to jump to the spot that's clicked. But when I click below it, it will jump one page down or above it, it will jump one page up.

Now your other options here are how to use the space above and below this part of the scroll bar which is called the Thumb here.

So it's hard to scroll through items using Screen Sharing. I also find it very useful when using Screen Sharing because it's hard to get the scroll bar to appear otherwise. A record’s title and its filename are no longer automatically linked when you set them to the same value, only when you set the title to be blank. So having it set to Always is very useful. EagleFiler will still read backups in the old format when importing or rebuilding, and you can click here to enable an esoteric preference if you want it to still write the old format for interoperability with previous versions of EagleFiler. Am I at the middle, the beginning, near the end? I have no idea. Whereas if I turn it off you can see I really have no idea. Not only that I can see how much of the document I'm looking at because that is the height of the scroll bar. For instance, if I'm in the middle of the document I can see I'm in the middle of the document. Some people like this a lot because the scroll bar gives you an indication of where you're at in the document. Now if you change to Always the scroll bar permanently goes there which is how Macs used to look a few generations of the OS ago. But for me When Scrolling works the same. But from what I hear when you have a mouse sometimes having that first setting depending upon the type of mouse you have will mean the scroll bar is always there. Now the top two settings are very similar: Automatically based on mouse or trackpad, or When Scrolling.

So, for instance, you can determine when they show up. If I move my cursor away from the scroll bar and wait, you can see it disappears.īut you can change all this if you go into System Preferences and under General there's a whole set of items here just for scroll bars. I can also click in the scroll bar, say down here, and it will jump a whole page or jump up a page. So I can go through the document very quickly. Not only that I can move my cursor over to the scroll bar after it appears and I can drag it. But if I use my trackpad with two fingers and I go up or down you can see the scroll bar appears there. Now I've got a very large TextEdit document here and you can see there's no scroll bar on the right. Video Transcript: Let's take a look at using Scroll Bars on your Mac.
