This rant about scrollbars is hilarious and on point.
Scrollbars are very handy. Most of the time, I’ll use arrow keys, the scroll wheel or swipe the two finger swipe to move around, but it is nice to jump around by clicking on an area of the scroll bar when you are skimming a long document. Unfortunately, as the post points out, in many cases the scroll bars are tiny or even invisible.
Something described in the article that I really like, but didn’t know the name of is “minimaps”. Those are the tiny displays of an outline of the document you are working on on the right side of the window that give you are context of where you are. They work nicely in VS Code and I’m going to try them in vim using this plugin.
