Hi Roland,

Thanks for the feedback. Another possibility I just thought of is to bind Alt + PgUp/PgDown to move the view up/down by 10 pages. What do you think about this?

On a side note, it seems like the idea of using a hotkey for faster scrolling has already been implemented by Qt, where (Ctrl/Shift) + scroll will effectively perform PgUp/PgDown.

Regards,
Brandon

Hi,

I recently opened an issue on GitLab regarding increasing the scroll rate for larger captures (https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues/18213). I was considering between a few alternative implementations, and would like to get your opinion on this. They are:

1. Adding a hotkey that when pressed, increases the scroll speed by a multiplier
2. Adding a new field to the config that allows one to specify a constant multiplier on the scroll speed
3. Making it such that the scrolling speed automatically increases when it detects continuous scrolling (not sure how feasible this one is)

Thanks in advance!
