Navigating around Textmaker on touch screen

[bluffhollow]

I have Lenovo touchpad laptop, and I'm finding it increasingly frustrating to navigate around the pages of Textmaker documents. I have to use two fingers to scroll up and down, or use the scroll bar on the side, both of which make the page move so quickly that I soon lose my place. Is this a function of the laptop? I've figured out the keyboard shortcut for moving up and down the screen (Fn + PgUp/PgDn), but I can't seem to find any others. Is there an answer to this? Thanks.

I did forward your request about the one-finger scrolling mode (instead of two-finger) to our developers' team.

Regarding scrolling sensitivity and speed of scrolling, you should check the documentation of your laptop and Windows. These might be adjustable. These settings are not adjustable in our programs.

2026 now, and this still seems to be a problem, at least when using a trackpad. The scrolling in TextMaker is a lot "faster" and less smooth than most other programs I use, and as the TS, my experience is that the text is blazing past if I so much as touch the trackpad. I am writing documents of 120–130 pages, and there are real issues when I need to find certain parts of the text.

There is no scroll speed setting in TextMaker's options- at least I cant seem to find it. The only workaround I've found is changing the Windows registry value WheelScrollLines from 3 to 1 or 2, but this affects every program on the system — not ideal.

Could you please add a scroll speed/sensitivity setting to TextMaker, or fix the way it handles trackpad scroll input so it behaves more like other applications (eg MS Word)? This has been reported on the forum since at least 2020, and it would make a real difference for those of us working with longer documents.
