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.

Here's another pet-peeve: Tab key should insert one level of indentation, and Delete key should remove one level of indentation, like normie text editors do it. I prefer "one level of indentation" to mean "four spaces" most of the time, but I'm flexible on the method. I just want it to work like that. Apparently making Delete key delete indentation instead of just one space is easy: (setq backward-delete-char-untabify-method 'hungry) Except, this doesn't remove JUST one indentation (four spaces), but all the whitespace at once. There is no option to make it remove just one level I think :blobfoxthinkanime: This is probably just something I have to get used to, unless an Emacs Wizard tells me how to change it.
