- Click and hold outside the thingy usually performs consecutive page jumps to the point (Firefox, Chrome)
Few omitted means to scroll
- hold middle mouse button and drag (this usually works well sideways and in case no scroll bar is present)
- spacebar / shift+spacebar, pgUp / pgDn, home / end
- and FMoPW most importantly clicking the arrows in the scroll bar. For "us" this seems almost uncomprehensible, but I regularly see users perform scolling this way.
For example my wife with track pad (yes, it is capable of two finger gestures), and my mother even with mouse with scroll wheel, until recently.
No wonder, discoverability of that action is way above all that abstract "dragging", "swinging" and "pressing" concepts without direct visual clue.
