[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello!
In the spirit of moving towards a more "modern" emacs, I'll address with
a patch the thing that actually confuses me personally the most. Also,
it seems like an (dare I say it) uncontroversial change: set default
scroll value to 1. It is mentioned as a small step towards the "smooth"
scrolling. Is there some other places that needs to be updated?
Have a nice day!

Thanks for the patch.
Could you give some additional rationale for this change? For example,
what does other software do here? What does other editors do? In what
way does this help make Emacs behavior less surprising?
Best regards,

Of course! Scrolling by 5 lines scrolls extremely fast when using touchpad, so much so that on my personal laptop in scrolls to the end of even pretty large files by moving my finger less than a centimeter. Also, since there is no tactile feedback on a touchpad, it gets very hard to predict. When swapping these, the ones wanting the five by five still get it by using shift.

Most software scrolls pixel wise, and that is still a ways to go for emacs, if I understand correctly.

The same as most other software, pixel wise. Comparable editors, like vim, scrolls one by one
>In what way does this help make Emacs behavior less surprising?
This should be as close to pixel wise we can get, and will be a lot more similar in behavior to most other software, be it editors or browser or whatnot.
Hope this clarifies the rationale a little.
Have a nice day!
