tigerjack Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Why don't add to the side of a page (or where you think is most evident) a button (always in view) labeled "top" to go quickly up to the top of the page? What do you think about? sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop and I have to use the "fn+diagonal arrow" combination as home button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Here is a test version, there is also the "Go Top" button - if it works? http://computerlife.ml/ This is one of the possible. But if you have Windows, then I'll try to find some other opportunity, to use one button which may be also on the taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerjack Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks Kalju for your tips, but you should know that with my laptop I use the mouse and it is easy to go to top with the wheel but it would be even faster with a "top" button on the page itself. It is true that it is not a great need but it could beautify a site (if it is not hard to create). To fulfill your curiosity you could go on https://softarchive.la/ and try the functionality. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It is easy to put on. And works perfectly. I have proposed already a long time ago add this button, also have sent hook. That's all what I can do. OK. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debebee Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 1. Easy to use sharpkeys to reassign an unused key (example f12) to a home key. https://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/ Works on any site... or 2. get an external USB full layout keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Another alternative: Scroll To Top Extension (Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari) About this addon: Spoiler Everyday scrolling on long pages can be a tiring experience specially on those sites which provides infinite scrolling (like facebook, twitter, Google+, etc). You will keep scrolling using your mouse to see more and more updates and then when you want to go up to the top of the page, you might move your hand from your mouse to keyboard to search for Home key or you will drag the scroll bar to the top. Scroll To Top tries to minimize this effort by providing an intuitive icon at the bottom-right corner of each page so that with one click you will be at the top of the page with beautiful animation. No more searching for Home key on your keyboard and no more dragging of the scroll bar. It will be just fun and ergonomic to use it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll-to-top/ But if you get your keyboard shortcut re-assigned as teodz1984 suggested, it's better!

Kalju Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Generally, the F12 is not free, only in a small number of computers may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyPAF Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Another alternative: Scroll To Top Extension (Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari) The [url= Toolbar Buttons add-on for Firefox has Scroll To Top and Scroll To Bottoms buttons you can add, as well as numerous other buttons.

tigerjack Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 teodz1984 jordan4x PocketAppZ .....reassign an unused key .....Scroll To Top Extension (Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari) They are all great tips (and if you use IE?). It is true that you can reassign unused keys but at the end, you should always use the keyboard when it would be enough a simple mouse touch. Perhaps I am expecting too much, but it was an idea that I thought could be realized with little effort as stated Kalju. thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I can suggest you the best solution you can think of. It is a program called AutoHotkey. With this tiny program you can assign, let's say (Control + Wheel Up) to take you to the top of the page you are watching. You can do a lot more with this program.

Regards You are right.This is one other option.Do You remember the 3 Musketeers? In this case it would be better .... one for all (the site for the users) and not all for one. Seriously, I think I'll never see the "top" button here. But we'll get all the same without it. THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTouch Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 look at the bottom right of the page...

tigerjack Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks for trying. You will surely find a way to run the new button properly. I'll be looking forward to new developments. For now, many thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Everything would be nice if this button would not be hidden, it is currently behind the other buttons (for example: Adguard, Ghostery, etc.) If to click, the page does not open in a new table (currently it opening a new table) ie, please change the location of the button - move it a little bit higher (recommended to edit) #gotoheaven { position: fixed; bottom: 50px; right: 10px; } And also: fix target = "_ blank" to target = "_ self" or target = "_ top" remove the rel = "external" it is now Spoiler <p> <a href="#elLogo" id="gotoheaven" rel="external" target="_blank"><i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-chevron-up"></i></a> <style type="text/css"> #gotoheaven { position: fixed; bottom: 10px; right: 15px; display: block; width: 50px; height: 50px; border-radius: 50%; background: rgba(0,0,0,.3); font-size: 30px; color: white; text-decoration: none; opacity: .5; transition: opacity 1s; line-height: 38px; text-align: center; } #gotoheaven:hover { opacity: 1.0; } </style> </p> Recommended Spoiler <p> <a href="#elLogo" id="gotoheaven" target="_top"><i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-chevron-up"></i></a> <style type="text/css"> #gotoheaven { position: fixed; bottom: 50px; right: 10px; display: block; width: 50px; height: 50px; border-radius: 50%; background: rgba(0,0,0,.3); font-size: 30px; color: white; text-decoration: none; opacity: .5; transition: opacity 1s; line-height: 38px; text-align: center; } #gotoheaven:hover { opacity: 1.0; } </style> </p> Not recommended use: opacity: .5; and opacity: 1.0; background: rgba(0,0,0, .3); It would be better to use #c8cace or rgb(200, 200, 200) and #000 or #000000 or rgb(0, 0, 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatman Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't understand what's so hard to bring back the old button? So many comments and utility arguments for a button which should been inserted from the beginning in the new forum interface. P.S. This new button is a joke. A bad one.

Kalju Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 And another interesting phenomenon, do not know why, but this button is not allowed on all pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
