Smooth Scrolling in Google Sheets

Google Sheets currently scrolls by entire rows and columns, which can be a jarring experience (especially if there are large rows or columns).

Anyone know how to make the scrolling smooth?

File -> Version history -> See version history

This opens the side pane and goes into a different mode, so it's not optimal, but it does enable smooth scrolling.

Would be nice if someone could reverse engineer this mode and write an extension that emulates it without having to open version history pane.. or if Google could just fix it themselves.

FYI, I took a look, and the only reason it works in that mode is because it puts the table in an iframe with scrollbars. The default view has custom scrollbars. Probably possible to override with some javascript hacks, but would be much easier for the Sheets team to fix. – Dan – 2019-07-24T20:52:43.443
