Is there a way to make scrolling thumbnails easier? currently it requires clicking on the scrolbar; mouse wheel doesn't work, neither mac touchbar which is kinda annoying.

Thumbnails... do you mean on the gamecards, scrolling through the screenshots? Or somewhere else?

Yes, those.

You can use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to move through the images one by one.

OK, this somewhat helps but still requirems me to switch from touchpad to arrows.

Thanks though :-)

Flip the Numlock from on to off or off to on?

I'm sure someone could build a userscript that adds the attributes "ng-scroll-up" and "ng-scroll-down" to the relevant elements and binds them to the functions "nextScreenshot()" and "prevScreenshot()" (the attributes ng-swipe-left/right are bound to those functions, I assume for mobile use - perhaps it already works on the Apple touchpad too? I don't know), that should make it possible to scroll through the screenshots (when you change the big picture, the thumbnail area is scrolled and the right thumbnail is selected). I messed around for a couple minutes, but can't be arsed to actually make something usable.

Note that the large picture above the thumbnails can be clicked to move you left or right through the thumbnail 'list'. When you mouse over (or touchpad over) the large picture, you should see left and right arrows. Click on either arrow to move left or right through the thumbnails.

Er, I'm making the assumption that the arrows show up in whatever browser you're using.

It's hard to do on MacBookPro ;-) For me it would be enough to have a normal, native scrollbar of the thumbnails section so i could easily move it with two fingers (again, macbook touchbar with gestures - same two finger gestsure works perfectly to scroll any other page, or frame within page). But it fails because the thumbnails area scrolling is custom...

I only use the gestures in Safari when wanting to gradually shift to the previous or next webpage in history, so as to temporarily see a little bit of a webpage without risking a reload of either webpage. Doesn't work in Firefox, gestures only switch to the previous/next webpage without the ability to gradually reveal them.

In general, I find the touchpad does pretty much the same thing as the arrow keys combined with the nearby modifier keys.

There's an Option key next to the arrow keys. Holding the Option key while typing the down or up arrow scrolls the page one window-full at a time. Also, spacebar and Shift-spacebar do the same thing, respectively. I used to reach for the spacebar with my right thumb if I didn't want to move my hand far from the arrow keys, which also allowed for my third and fourth finger to hold the Shift key, if needed.

Holding the Command key (with thumb) while typing either up or down arrow scrolls all the way to the top or bottom of the webpage.

And if it's Safari, then the scrolling is animated, but if it's Firefox then it's just instant, IIRC.

Just be careful with left and right arrow keys. In Safari, holding the Command key while typing left or right arrow will traverse browsing history (backward and forward). Command-Shift and left or right arrow keys switch between tabs in a window. This is much quicker than maneuvering the pointer to switch tabs, and then traversing history.

Admittedly, I have Sticky Keys turned on (System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard (near bottom of list)), so I sometimes just type a modifier key to temporarily lock it instead of having to hold a modifier key at all.

All of that seems to work well with left/right arrow keys switching screenshots on a GOG game page because left/right arrow keys (without modifier keys) don't seem to have any effect in scrolling the webpage or otherwise.

However, clicking on one the screenshots on a game page reveals a larger version and the keyboard shortcuts. One the shortcuts is the down arrow key, which opens the screenshot in a new window (or tabbed window). That only happens when the large screenshot view is open, otherwise the down arrow key just scrolls the page.

Hmm, that's weird. For me scrolling with touchpad works extremely well (and it behaves the same in almost all apps) - you use two fingers and simply drag the area like you would do on your mobile (and while the first couple of minutes after switching from windows/mouse definitely felt weird it's very natural later on).
But the page has to have scrollable area - without it nothing happens (and horizontal drags go back/forward). Now - if there is a horizontal scrollbar (even as an iframe) then it would simply scroll this area (you can experiment and make any browser window very narrow to force horizontal scrollbar and then scroll with two fingers)

Sure, absolutely.

I find the scrolling gestures to be tedious. Scrolling precisely one page at a time is easier for me with a key on a keyboard and instant, without need for being careful. Nothing missed.

Admittedly, not nearly as fun to watch animating as the free-flowing gesture scrolling, that's pretty neat. But that's not a very useful response for me because it's easier for me to continue reading when the text isn't moving anymore. That's also why I wish a document in Safari just instantaneously moved to the next page (like it used to), like what Firefox still does (last I checked, though probably because they haven't gotten around to animating the page scrolling for page-up and page-down keys yet).

Maybe that's because it's a bit more like real life for me when I turn pages or move a sheet out of the way. I don't have any documents as scrolls, just books and stacks of sheets of paper. So, it's just tap-tap-tap and I'm done, instead of scroll a little, scroll a little, scroll a little, scroll a little, scroll a little, scroll a little...

I think I somewhat get used to it (on PC I was also hooked on PgUp/PgDn for the same convenience of no need to track where I am when reading) but - MBC doesn't have sane(-ish) PgUp/PgDn counterpart (yes, you can mess around with fn/cmd + arrows but this require usually key-combo insead of single keystroak and quite often different apps map this differently so getting everything in line was tedious).

For the sake of reading particular chunks of text I simply scroll-by-paragraphs, which is not perfect but (for me) easier.

Also, I think we've got a lil' bit OT :D

A little bit, yes. :-)

To bring it full circle, the idea was if using the arrow keys (and the adjacent modifier keys) were an acceptable alternative to using gestures on the trackpad (such as for scrolling the page), then the left and right arrow keys would be readily at hand for traversing the game screenshots on the game page, too.

If the arrow keys (and adjacent modifier keys) are not an acceptable alternative to the gestures on the trackpad, then hopefully someone else will have another suggestion. :-)

Anyone?

Sorry. It's been a long day. :P
