Yes, Qt implemented this feature but at the same time they demonstrate to great effect the lack in usefulness for it. Every hidden key needs to be demonstrated or shown, or it has to be something that users are used for their platforms. CTRL-C/CTRL-V comes to mind for the latter.
That is why every shortcut should have a corresponding menu-entry. So users can find and learn those shortcuts. But for the proposed solution I am kind of not seeing where we can put that entry. And because of that, only users who knew off the functionality while it was initially demonstrated will use it, the majority won’t. And that is my issue with implementing it.
If you want to do it anyway, please do, I’ll happily review it and help you get it implemented.

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!
Regards, Brandon Foong
