Add Preference for sidebar vertical scroll

[I do not know if this is the right place for it, but here it goes:]

Coming out from this answer given to me on forum of Audacity, I hereby kindly request addition of new option in Preferences: for giving users a choice, if they want their Sidebar to loose its vertical inner scroll-bar when its [folder or unfolded] content exceeds size of its window

[I personally do not like to be forced to scroll within some menus on sites - I prefer to have on overall scroll bar for the whole window]

In concurrence with such change, or even lack of it, the icon for the Keyboard Shortcuts link could be moved then from the bottom of Sidebar to the top most bar, where there is enough space for it [and where it would also remain being always visible]

안녕하세요 @DJ-VJ, 메타에 오신 것을 환영합니다 :wave:

이 주제를 Contribute > Feature 채널로 옮겼습니다. 현재 UX에 대한 일반적인 문제나 제안보다는 기본적으로 사용자별 기능 요청에 더 가까우기 때문입니다 :slight_smile:

Air Theme - #280 by av203 와 같은 긴 주제를 탐색할 때 이러한 설정이 어떻게 작동할지 어떻게 생각하시나요?

만약 사용자가 주제 중간에 있다면, 사이드바의 상단이나 하단을 확인하기 위해 스크롤할 때 게시글도 함께 스크롤될 수 있으며, 이는 원치 않는 동작이 될 수 있습니다…

Well, that seems like an issue

But:

● it would be up to user to decide which approach to use (in Preferences)

● there is a possibility of clicking a link in the top most bar in get to main site with links to sections of a given forum

● maybe some kind of floating feature, that could be turned on and of directly from view of posts (i.e. without a need to going to Preferences)

Not following though, we only show the scrollbar on sidebar on hover and it is super subtle.

Can you try your site in safe mode, does it still have the issue?

Is is no an issue - it is question of choice of modus operandi; of what an individual views as the most convenient interface

The site works as you describe it in normal mode
