Imagine you are writing a reusable UI component for a scrollable list. You want your list to have a property such, if true, the list follows the rule "if the user is already scrolled to the bottom of the list, and a new item is added to the bottom, autoscroll to the new bottom".
What would you name this property?
@mcc it's sort of like "follow stream" or "streaming scroll" or something along those lines.

@mcc Is it just the bottom? I want to call it scrollToInsertion.

@mcc in DebugView the menu option for this is called "Auto Scroll"

@phairupegiont @mcc If it’s an accepted term, no point re-inventing.

@mcc it's like we page mode vs logs mode... Maybe reading_mode, but true when it doesn't auto follow.

@mcc “anchorsToBottom” maybe? i’ve been writing something similar which has an “anchorIndex” that can be equal to the list’s length (which produces this behavior)

What would you name this property?
@mcc brainstorm ([bracketed] parts are optional, / indicates an alternative, * indicates one I like more):
[auto]scroll_to_update, [auto]scroll_to_latest, [auto]follow_updates, [auto]scroll_track_updates, *[auto]scroll_at_bottom, [update_/auto]scroll_on_grow[th], [update_/auto]scroll_on_expand, [update_/auto]scroll_on_add, *[auto]scroll_bottom_to_latest

@mcc autoScrollToNewItem - name implies it scrolls to reveal a new item wherever its added, not just at end.

What would you name this property?
@mcc A vote for "auto_scroll" variants: Wireshark calls this "Automatically scroll during live capture" and has the healthy semantics you describe where if you manually scroll away it will stop autoscrolling, and it resumes if you manually scroll to bottom again
you could probably afford to be a bit more verbose though like "auto_scroll_on_append"

What would you name this property?
@mcc Is this generalized to "when the height of the list changes, preserve the current position as a fraction of the height rather than as an absolute" or is it a property peculiar to the bottom?
In the former case, something like "PositionHeightRelative". In the latter, something like "StayAtBottom". Or maybe even "StickyBottom" if I were feeling naughty.

@elomatreb @mcc gotta be "stickyBottom"
@kboyd @elomatreb @mcc Beat me to it.
I unironically think "sticky bottom" is an excellent name for this feature -- concise and expressive. But I also suspect it already has a name.

@kboyd @elomatreb @mcc I was more thinking "sticky end"...

@rperezrosario so this is where I admit this is all about me trying to find a way to word it other than "stick_bottom"

@mcc `keepAtEnd`.
Unrelated, I initially read this as saying "Imagine you are a reusable UI component…" and it landed very differently for me

@kaithefox4 fedora è la base usata dalla distro nobara, che è una fedora potenziata solo per il gaming: https://nobaraproject.org/
quindi si è ottima per il gaming, se non vuoi sbatterti troppo nelle configurazioni nobara ti aiuta ad avere un pacchetto completo :)

@Paoblog grazie per la segnalazione!
Ne parlavamo giusto negli scorsi giorni...

@alda7069 certo,ma a quanto potere di-vino😁 denota un tasso alcol... aehm percentile di affidabilità e accuratezza pari allo 0,3000% [teorico] visto la risibilità delle "promesse" fatte e MAI effettivamente mantenute,se ne potrebbe dedurre, che le "nostre difficoltà" come essere umani siano dovute ad una progettazione di un dio anch'esso fallace,se si ritiene valido l'assunto che ci abbia fatto a sua immagine e somiglianza😁😬🤐

@filippodb la leggerezza è uno dei miei ultimi problemi, in quanto ho un pc da gaming potente. Fedora è una buona distro anche in ambito gaming?
