The title pretty much sums it up, I'd like to avoid that the scroll continues when I release the touchpad. Here's my custom variable about the mouse wheel behaviour:

'(mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(1 ((shift) . 5)))
'(mouse-wheel-progressive-speed nil)

To be honest, I'm not sure whether this is is actually inertia or the scroll operations stack up and get executed with some delay hence causing the effect.

The behaviour is observed with emacs -q as well.

    why use the touchpad to scroll. Pressing C-v or M-v should be easier than inconsistent scrolling with touchpad.

    Because sometimes I want to scroll just a few lines.

  • I'm not sure if you can disable insertia, but what you can do is, make the cursor position not change while you scroll

  • @ChakravarthyRaghunandan why using just terminal? Rely on books and use hands to move next/prev ;-)

I finally found a definitive solution for this:

(setq ns-use-mwheel-momentum nil)

Also possibly related is the ns-use-mwheel-acceleration variable.
