Scrolla needs to place the cursor in position in order to act on the Scroll Areas underneath. sure the cursor could be place a bit more to the left, or to the right, or above, or below. but why?

as far as i'm aware there's no macOS public APIs that allow scrolling WITHOUT the cursor being within the scrolling area. which means that the cursor has to be moved at least within the scrolling area for being able to programmatically generate the scroll. lemme know if you're aware of something i'm missing.

that being said the cursor doesn't have to be moved at the center. but then where? and still, why? what's the current issue with moving the cursor at the center? usually the center is a "safe" place. it allows for scrolling the main page in shit apps that don't expose their scrolling areas like Electron shit apps, and that avoids ending up on a fake menu etc. for fake apps there's a way to move the cursor manually around a loose grid with the numbers from 1 to 9.

but there could be an option in Scrolla to reposition the cursor to its original place once you exit the scroll mode. would that help? i still really don't get what's the problem in the first place lol
