Improve horizontal scrolling

in progress

Dusan Vranjes

Please either add some padding to the bottom bar/footer or increase the thickness of horizontal scroll bar!

It happens to me every day that I would like to scroll any accidentally click on one of the summary fields instead.

The footer should also have a "float" option where the grid does not fill the page downwards/vertically.

Also consider the "standard" implementation of the "Home" and "End" keys, especially useful for navigating long records. The addition of "CTRL" with those keys could take you to the first or last record respectively.

If you are using SS, You need to get the logitech mouse with side scroll!

even if we could have the arrow keys that would allow us to scroll, I find that I have to stop typing and use the scroll feature to move the screen, Tab or Arrow keys would be great,

I am glad to see it is not just me that have this issue :D

We have updated design of the scroll bar in one of our recent releases.

Next step, we'll be adding hotkeys to quickly jump to the end of the column/row

Artem Kunytsia: Thanks for addressing this, it's been long awaited. However, I don't see any improvement, was the scroll bar thickened or what was updated? I'm using Chrome, cleared cache, restarted and did a hard refresh.

Chad Urbshott: What I'd like to see is the 'Tab' key stops moving to next tab once I tab over to last column in view . Currently selection keeps rolling around to beginning of next line. (similarly shift-Tab in reverse). I.E I'm lazy and don't want to learn another hotkey. Tab should work to get me to last column as it does in Airtable.

Dusan Vranjes Thank you for reporting this !
We have just approved a design update and we'll roll this out as soon as possible. We've increased the width/height of both the vertical and horizontal scrolls and also increased the distance from the viewport edges.
Shaw please note that you can do this in SmartSuite as well :) You can use Shift + Scroll while hovering over the grid :)

Agree. I'd like to add that scroll bars in general are finicky. The vertical one gives me issues too.

Shaw

Its way too small vertically. I naturally want to click on the status bar instead. It would be nice if the horizontal scroll switched sizes with the status bar!

More importantly, I would prefer to click/hold the mouse scroll wheel to scroll left/right (like in MS Excel)
