Claude Code /scroll-speed — Adjust Your Mouse Wheel Scroll Speed

When long code or logs don't fit on one screen and you keep spinning the mouse wheel, it can feel either too slow and frustrating or, conversely, jump too far at once so you lose your place. /scroll-speed is a command that tunes this wheel scroll speed to your hand.

Definition (what it is)

/scroll-speed is a command that adjusts the mouse wheel scroll speed in full-screen (a mode that fills the whole screen) mode.

Scrolling means pushing content that doesn't fit on screen up or down to view it. With this command you set how far the screen moves per wheel turn. Since it only affects display, you can freely play with it.

How to use it (by level)

Basic — Set the scroll speed

Type this in the input box.

/scroll-speed

A screen for setting the scroll speed then appears. If it feels too fast or too slow, just enter it again and change the value. Once set, that speed carries over to your next work too.

Real-world example

When output pours out by the hundreds of lines, like test results or build logs, raising the scroll speed lets you skim up and down quickly. Conversely, when you need to follow code line by line carefully, lowering the speed so you advance slowly keeps you from losing your place.

Taking it further

This command works in full-screen mode. Pairing it with /focus, which strips the screen down to the essentials so you can concentrate, or with features that handle screen layout, lets you tidy up even long sessions for easy viewing. Since the feel differs by your wheel sensitivity and mouse type, we recommend adjusting it once or twice to find the value that suits you.

Wrap-up

/scroll-speed is a command that adjusts the mouse wheel scroll speed in full-screen mode. Setting it once for when you want to skim long output quickly or follow it slowly makes the screen much easier to view.
