I do not know the right term, sorry…
On Android, when I’m looking at a note, I can move my finger up or downwards over the screen and the content will scroll, and depending on the speed I moved my finger it will keep scrolling for a while. This makes it possible to quickly scroll through a large document.
But when I edit a note, it doesn’t keep scrolling this way and since Joplin always opens the editor at the end of the note (which makes sense) it takes a lot of finger movements to get at the beginning…
