digitalmars.D - [dlang website] Up Arrow in library

A small suggestion for the library layout (phobos etc) on 
dlang.org:

An up arrow like on duckduckgo would be cool, i.e. as soon as you 
scroll down an up arrow appears that brings you back to the top, 
if you click on it. This would be very convenient when browsing 
through the library. Would it be hard to add this feature? If 
needs be, I could write a JS function for that.

Ctrl+Home Ctrl+End work wonders!

Home and End without Ctrl work fine for me.

But you have to switch between keyboard and mouse. Not optimal.

"Back to top" links are dumb. Navigating to the top of the page 
is something the client browser should handle. In Firefox, I use 
a plugin with a mouse gesture myself, so holding right click and 
moving my mouse up takes me back to the top of the page. Either 
that, or I press my "home" or "end" keys.

Pressing the [Home] key does that.

And what do you use on touch screen devices? The up arrow (on 
duckduckgo for example) is very convenient. It's one of those 
little things that are not _strictly_ necessary but often come in 
handy.

I agree that a "back to top" link under every function would be 
kinda stupid. But a little arrow that resides unobtrusively in 
the corner of the browser window does no harm.

On iOS (Safari) just tap on the status bar at the top, where the time and
battery status is displayed.

Any touch screen browser has this feature (On iOS tap on status 
bar, on Android diagonal swipe or on Windows use the dedicated 
Home button).

On desktop browsers there are various plugins to do that or you 
can add a favorite/bookmark/star button pointing to 
"javascript:scroll(0,0)".

I've settled for "Scroll To Top":

http://pratikabu.users.sourceforge.net/extensions/scrolltotop/

It's customizable and has different scroll modes.
