Here is my reasoning for using control, and reserving shift: Using control for scrolling faster is better because using shift _changes_ the current default, where as using control restricts it, but, for those who use control already won't notice.Shift has been the modifier for about a year [1].

Yes, you complained bitterly and it was clear to everyone that you couldn't live with this change [1].
and I let it sit, and now you unwittingly stepped into this discussion by finishing the job...
AFAICT there hadn't been a discussion.
Using shift is better for horizontal scrolling because Mac OS Finder did it."Did" as in doesn't anymore?Shift works like this in just about every app with a horizontal scroll bar on Mac OS and Mac OS X and has since Mac OS Finder introduced the concept in System 6 or so on the Mac side of the fence.
TBH, I couldn't care less about horizontal scrolling. Which modifier is used in MacOS X for fast scrolling?
I don't see how; it is optimal already. :-) http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=410d1973c1bd568785c97b437a3857b122054fd7Again, where did the decision behind this commit come from? If possible, I'd like to revisit it. It's not life or death, but, if possible, it would be better if were to change the modifier used here to Control rather than Shift. Control has better Gestalt,
Seriously?
all else being equal, which, as far as I know, it is.
