Adjust speed of spacebar scrolling

Question

Adjust speed of spacebar scrolling

Hi

I recently stumbled across the ability to scroll forwards & backwards through a web page in Safari using spacebar & shift-spacebar.

Is it possible to decrease the rate at which the page is scrolled?

Cheers, Stephen.

The spacebar shortcuts are meant to work the same way as the "page up" and "page down" keys. It's a fast way to go one full page up or down, not really a way to scroll. So as far as I can tell that shortcut won't be much influenced by scrolling speed controls.

If it helps, the arrow keys on your keyboard will scroll up and down. Perhaps that's closer to what you're looking for.

system preferences > mouse > then there is a bar where you can set the speed of scroll.
shift spacebar and spacebar move down or up one page every click of bar.
