-;; macOS scroll wheel best practice (NS/Cocoa build):
-;; - pixel-scroll-precision-mode is NOT used: it targets X11/Haiku and breaks
-;;   NS/Cocoa scroll event delivery (rebinds [wheel-up/down] to non-working handlers)
-;; - Standard mwheel.el with conservative settings is reliable on macOS
-;; - NS backend converts trackpad + physical wheel to [wheel-up]/[wheel-down] events
+;; macOS smooth scrolling — pixel-scroll-precision-mode (Emacs 29+, works on NS/Cocoa)
+;; pixel-scroll-precision-mode handles [wheel-up/down] → pixel-scroll-precision.
+;; ns-use-mwheel-momentum: macOS sends momentum-phase events after finger lift;
+;;   setting t passes them through so kinetic/inertial scrolling works.
+;; pixel-scroll-precision-use-momentum nil: let macOS handle momentum (Emacs
+;;   momentum simulation would double-apply on top of NS momentum events).
