Luke Boswell (Nov 23 2023 at 23:07): Luke Boswell (Nov 23 2023 at 23:07):I created Issue #6073 to request a feature for the website, and want to get people's thoughts here before I start on a PR.
Basically, when scrolling through the website sometimes I want to jump to the top of the page. I would like a button to appear after scrolling that returns my window to the top of the page when I click it.
Any objections or issues I should be aware of?
My thoughts were just a sticky button "Back to Top ↑" in the bottom RH corner of the page.
Richard Feldman (Nov 23 2023 at 23:19):interesting - personally I always just press the Home key (or cmd+up on Mac) to get back to the top, and I'm actually slightly (but only slightly) annoyed when sites have things like that, because it feels to me like clutter because it's redundant :sweat_smile:
Luke Boswell (Nov 23 2023 at 23:20):TIL you can use cmd+up :open_mouth:
Luke Boswell (Nov 23 2023 at 23:20):What about for mobiles?
Lucas Culverhouse (Nov 23 2023 at 23:48):When I've been going through the website tutorial/std lib docs most of the time I want to jump back to the top is to get the table of contents to jump to another section/function. It might be useful to make the table of contents always visible as you scroll (or tucked in a menu that is always visible as you scroll) to make this easier.
