Display scroll bar for longer I'm one of these people who likes to grab the scroll bar and move it around now-n-then when I'm not using the scroll wheel on my mouse.

But what I find really annoying is I have to scroll to get it to appear, which is fine, but it disappears before I can grab it.

How can I increase the duration that the scroll bar shows before it disappears?
Run

defaults write -g NSOverlayScrollerHideDelay -float 3


where 3 is a value in seconds and quit and reopen applications to apply the changes.

I found the preference key by running mdfind kMDItemContentType=public.unix-executable -onlyin /System|xargs strings 2&gt;/dev/null|grep -E '^[[:alnum:].-]{10,80}$'|grep -i scroll.
