Glossary

sidescroll

Short Definition
A user interaction where the content on a screen is moved horizontally, typically by dragging or using an arrow key. It is often used in image galleries or large tables.
Relevance
Sidescrolling involves horizontal scrolling, which can be challenging for some users. Understanding sidescroll helps you show others how to navigate horizontally across content, especially if they’re new to such setups or use alternative navigation methods, such as keyboard-only navigation or assistive tools for motor impairments.
