Obviously it doesn’t work—but I inactive instinctively bash it astatine slightest erstwhile a day. And I uncertainty I’m the lone one. If you’re an iPhone user, you’re trained to pat the apical of the surface to leap to the apical of a page. That’s the aforesaid arsenic double-clicking a rubric barroom connected macOS. But alternatively of that expected behavior, you’ll either “zoom” the model oregon minimize it, 2 things I don’t bash precise often. You tin customize what double-clicking does successful the Dock & Menu Bar settings, but you tin lone take 1 of those options.

In macOS Ventura, there’s a 3rd option: Do nothing. But the enactment I privation is an enactment to scroll to the opening of the page. Yes, I cognize there’s a keyboard shortcut (fn + near arrow) but I privation to beryllium capable to support my hands connected a trackpad oregon rodent and rapidly leap to the apical of the screen. Alas, that’s inactive not an enactment successful Ventura.
