Reasons to do this: - This makes scrolling large distances faster, which can also be better for people with repetitive strain injuries. - QQC2 does this by default, so it requires no effort to support. We have to put in extra effort to support the other way. Reasons not to do this: - It's different. - It does not work with Tcl/Tk (toolkit used by `git gui`). Other things to know: - The ability to switch comes from `QStyle::SH_ScrollBar_LeftClickAbsolutePosition` (proposed) and `QStyle::SH_ScrollBar_MiddleClickAbsolutePosition` (current). - It works with Firefox, Chromium/Electron, GTK and wxWidget apps.
