I don't mean to be negative, and it doesn't hurt to make suggestions, but doesn't pressing the home key on your keyboard do the same thing?

Okay, I hate to be the bringer of bad (?) news, but.. there has been a top button on your keyboard all the time.

Maybe he's already aware of this, and is simply making the suggestion in an effort to maximize efficiency. If you're scrolling down the page with a mouse, then precious milliseconds can be saved by merely using a mouse click. Making the tedious journey across the vast peaks and valleys of the keyboard in order to reach the home key can be exhausting, so I can understand the reason for a suggestion such as this.

Thanks hanear21 and Evil_Dragon (your answer was funnier).

On second thought, there's some truth in that (for righthanders with laptops), but I guess it wouldn't really be worth implementing on this site.
At least, now you know it exists on other forums.

Maybe I'm missing something, but now that you mention it, I would like a "bottom" button haha.

I browse on my iPhone a lot, and I know how to get to the top real quick, but getting to the bottom tires out my fingers sometimes.


....so lazy....

This could be done with a simple greasemonkey script, but I'm too lazy to write one.

Edit: Actually you can do it via a very simple bookmarklet. Just bookmark

Code:

javascript:scroll(0,0)

End key.

Here's a Firefox addon (apparently there's similar ones for other browsers) with Back to Top or Go to Bottom options, customizable... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/658/

I didn't realize they only meant for the iPhone, I thought they were talking in general and then referencing the iPhone. I guess I've been reading too many logically structured papers lately. ;p
