Jumping around a large library (scrubber)

If you have a large collection (20+ volumes), the scrubber appears on the right edge of the Library tab. It’s a fast way to scroll through hundreds of volumes without slow finger-scrolling.

What it is

A small vertical track on the right side of the screen. When you press and drag the track:

Your library scrolls in proportion to where you drag.
A subtle haptic pulse fires when you cross between letter sections (A → B → C, etc.).
A passive indicator pill shows where in the list you currently are, even when you’re not dragging.

When it appears

The scrubber only appears when:

You have at least 20 volumes in your filtered Library.
You’re not in selection mode (it’s hidden during bulk-select to avoid conflicting touches).

If your library is small, you don’t need the scrubber — regular scrolling works fine.

How to use it

Find the scrubber on the right edge — a subtle vertical line.
Press and hold anywhere on the track.
Drag up or down. The Library scrolls to the corresponding position.
Release to stop.

You’ll feel haptic ticks as you cross alphabet boundaries (assuming you’re sorted by Title or Series).

What sort orders does it work with?

The scrubber is most useful with alphabetical sort (Title or Series). The haptic ticks are based on the first letter of each volume in the sorted list — if you’re sorted by Added Date, ticks won’t follow alphabet boundaries (they’ll follow some other groupings).

For best experience:

Set sort to Title or Series, ascending.
Use the scrubber to jump to a letter range.

What if the scrubber doesn’t appear?

Library has fewer than 20 volumes — the scrubber hides itself for short lists.
Selection mode active — exit selection mode by tapping the X.
Empty filtered state — make sure your filters aren’t reducing the list below 20.

Differences between scrubber and scroll-to-top

Scrubber — Lets you jump to any position in the list.
Scroll-to-top — Jumps you back to the top from anywhere. See Scroll-to-top.

Both are designed for large libraries. They don’t conflict — both are visible at once.

Performance

The scrubber doesn’t download or load anything new — it just changes the list’s scroll position. Volumes are still virtualized (loaded lazily as they come into view), so even fast-scrubbing through a 5,000-volume library is smooth.
