:blobfoxupsidedown: It feels weird and I can't explain it, but I feel like when scrolling with the mouse wheel in Emacs it scrolls down a lot more than it scrolls up? Also, I read about `(pixel-scroll-precision-mode)` and tried it, and while it looks amazing, it scrolls fifteen lines at a time, and I've spent the entire morning trying to find what config changes that to no avail :blobfoxgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:

Right so - pixel-scroll-mode for some reason sometimes jumps entire lines when scrolling down (only when scrolling down), and I can't seem to fix it, so it's off. pixel-scroll-precision-mode, which seems to be the new one, doesn't have these issues and looks super smooth and cool, but one tap on the mouse wheel scrolls 15 lines and I can't find anything that changes the scroll amount. I think it's apparently made for MacOS trackpads and not for mouse wheels, so... Off it goes too. Line scrolling for the win I guess. :blobfoxsipglare: I always run into things like this on Emacs because the truth is - I am a normie when it comes to text editors, I don't know Vim and I don't really want to spend a while learning and getting used to a trillion keyboard shortcuts to do everything when I can just click a button or scroll down. And Emacs just doesn't seem to be for normies. But I will mold it. I will normie mind break Emacs. You cannot stop me. I know about CUA mode already.
