Option-drag allows precise scrolling in Cocoa apps
Authored by: MJCube on Dec 17, '04 11:08:35AM
(I tried to submit my version of this hint this week because my first few searches failed to find this one. I should have searched harder.)

To clarify the confusion here, 2½ years later: Note the difference between Option-click on an empty area of the scroll bar ("scroll to here") vs. Option-drag on the scroll thumb itself. With the latter, dragging scrolls the content proportionally with mouse movement.

The original hint calls it a "scroll box"; wfolta said "scroll handle" … I think developers call it a (proportional) scroll thumb.
