// @name           Auto scroll keys

// @version        1.1.1
// @description    Auto scroll page on Ctrl+Down.  Escape or Space to stop.
// @include        *
// ==/UserScript==

// This script is a derivative of http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/70300 by PaC1250

// Options:

var initialSpeed = 10;     // Pixels per second

var maxPerSecond = 60;     // Target FPS

var resetThreshold = 10;   // If the user scrolls the page manually by more pixels than this value, then we will start scrolling from the new position.

var attemptSubPixelScrolling = true;

// Sub-pixel scrolling may look a little bit jittery, so we could use it only when it's needed.
// But personally in Chrome I found sub-pixel zooming looked preferable even at zoom 100%.
var attemptSubPixelScrollingOnlyIfZoomedIn = false; // Clobbers the value of attemptSubPixelScrolling.

// The user may perform normal scrolling actions during auto-scroll (e.g. by pressing Up or PageUp or using the scroll bar).  We will detect and ackowledge these (update realy) if we see a difference of more than this many pixels.
// If the threshold is set too low, the script's own scrolling will trigger it, especially on slower machines or under heavy load.
// But if set too high, the threshold may fail to fire if, when the user presses Up to scroll back a little, the browser performs that with a smooth scroll of lots of small movements, rather than one larger jump.

// BUG: When zoomed in, jumping by a whole (unzoomed) pixel it too coarse, because we see the text move by more than one screen pixel.  But we cannot control that: we give the browser a float for scrolling but it rounds it to an int!
// A possible workaround would be to perform some scrolling (perhaps just the remainder part before rounding) as a transform on the page.  This might not work in all browsers.

// 2012/10/09  Now runs at 60fps or whatever the machine can handle

// Constants:

var DOM_VK_DOWN   = 40;
var DOM_VK_UP     = 38;
