I love typewriter scrolling, it’s the main reason I use Scrivener though I love the project management side of things almost as much. However, I’d do wish I could change the scrolling point from the middle of the page, maybe to a third from the top when editing, sometimes to a third from the bottom when ‘composing’. I’ve seen this is a thing in the Mac version, and I’ve seen it mentioned in the past as not yet a feature in Windows (why are we not feature matched?). Now that the lastest version for Windows just passed a year old, are we ever going to see this implemented in Windows?
There are some things that are possible on macOS that are not possible on Win.
Not sure if this is one.
Having never used a Mac, I have no idea what those things might even be. Where a scrolling point on the page can be doesn’t strike me at one of them. If it can be done at all, it seemingly should be possible to change how high up and down a page it happens. We’ll see. Sometime. Hopefully.
Well, there were hundreds of little things that didn’t get made in the first place, because of the massive rush to get it done at all.
For things that are not at all possible on other platforms, there in fact very few things of that nature, and most of them are really super obvious, like grammar checking. Obviously if a massive company doesn’t make that available to your programming toolkit, it’s not the sort of thing one programmer can do all by themselves, unless that is all they do. Some are less obvious, sure, but the best assumption to make if something is missing (from those 200 missing pages of documentation!) is that it was skipped over.

Thanks for the clarification telling me that it didn’t happen for…reasons. Having no idea how many programmers are working on what at any one time, it seems all one can do is wait for the next patch and see what it brings, whenever that might be.
I’m with you on loving typewriter scrolling in Scrivener. Hopefully, the customizable scroll point feature will be added to the Windows version soon.
