Pixel scrolling reverses direction when stopping

[diocletiann]

Thanks all the work on this, it's my favorite Neovim GUI for touchpad pixel scrolling on MacOS. Would it be possible to disable the direction reversal when scrolling stops in the middle of a row and continue moving in the direction of the scroll until the partial row is fully visible? The direction reversal is very distracting and I think this alternative could look very smooth.

Hi, Thanks for this issue report.
I have made a trial fix for this problem.

I would appreciate your feedback on whether this is in line with your expected behavior.

Hey, thanks for jumping on this so fast. I tested them side by side and now I'm not sure which one I prefer, they are both jumpy when the caret hits the window edge. If you could scroll partial lines per pixel and not allow the caret into them it would be ideal. I also noticed these are both running in Intel emulation mode and I'm not sure how much that costs.

Thanks for reply.
Your opinion is well understood.
One possible approach would be, for example, to leave the amount of pixel scrolling that is less than the height of the row after a touchpad scrolling operation. However, this would require manually adjusting back to the exact row-by-row viewport after pixel scrolling, which some people may not like.

goneovim does not yet prepare binaries for the Apple M1 arm64. This will be a topic for future improvement.
