Add site-wide mouse wheel smooth scrolling and easing? (Altitude pro)

[lorilin]

Hi all,

What what would be the simplest way to add smooth mouse wheel scrolling / easing sitewide without a plugin? I see lots of scripts and jquery thingies are available, but am not sure how to add those without breaking everything or causing general mayhem.

Background:
Ever since I noticed that some sites have buttery smooth scrolling and easing when you scroll with the mouse wheel I have a hard time looking at jerky scrolling. For example, here's a smoothly scrolling / easing site:

http://www.imaginaryforces.com/

(There's a lot of other cool stuff going on there, but just check out the smooth scrolling if you use the mouse wheel).

then compare with the Altitude Demo

http://demo.studiopress.com/altitude/

I've tested this plugin and it seems to work OK

MouseWheel Smooth Scroll

I do like to avoid unnecessary plugins (because then you depend on the author to keep it updated). Is there a nice way to add a scrolling/easing script to Altitude?

Cheers,
Lori
