Windows 7 hid a brilliant scroll bar shortcut that almost nobody knows
A brief history of Windows scroll bar shortcuts
Raymond Chen traces the evolution of Windows scroll bar shortcuts, from the basic arrows and page regions to Windows 7's right-click menu and its "Scroll Here" option. He also highlights a hidden gem: holding Shift while clicking the scroll bar jumps the thumb directly to that spot. But with Win32 scroll bars fading and frameworks like WinUI offering neither feature, even this shortcut is no longer reliable.
Great, so by the time I learn about a shortcut for scroll bars (Shift+click), the ecosystem has fragmented so much that I can’t even rely on it working.
