"How to control scroll bar behavior in Cinnamon?"
https://superuser.com/questions/1093850/how-to-control-scroll-bar-behavior-in-cinnamon
"The window manager knows absolutely nothing about scrollbars.
They are drawn by the widget toolkit that each program
uses – in GNOME it's mostly GTK+, in KDE it's mostly Qt.
Thus scrollbar behavior in GNOME (Cinnamon) programs
would be a GTK+ option, and more specifically a GTK 3
option..."
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
Gnome Tweak Tool
Now, I thought this was part of the whole window manager
thing, but... I guess not.
As for the notion of arrows, they've been tried in the
past, and with several variations. Double-headed arrows
for page-at-a-time advance. Single headed arrows.
Single headed arrows with the two arrow heads next
to one another. Developers change scrollbars as part
of their "look how clever I am" campaign :-) Actual usage
of a new design, they don't need to evaluate that.
They probably use custom source editors with their own
scroll buttons, you know, for productivity reasons.
*******
CDE has the little arrows on it. As proof, if you go back
far enough, they had arrows.
