It's probably a pointless idea since I normally just search the song that I want to play or just the middle scroll.
But some people do not have the scrolling button (tablet players or mouses without it)... Dragging the list can be a hassle.
So why not add a spin to scroll feature?
It's really simple, the osu logo in the middle of the beatmap list can serve as the spinner, the logo itself could also spin while you scroll.
Spinning clockwise would scroll down the list while counterclockwise would scroll up.
Now I can predict a few flaws with this concept while there are players who use the keyboard combination to play and spin in their own preference.
These flaws could easily be fixed with the following:
1. Enable/Disable Spin2Scroll (making #2 defaulted if enabled)
2. Have the search clicked before searching (for players who use the keyboard to play, also enablable and disablable)
3. Spin2Scroll inversability (to suit player preference)
This could also make players practice their spin if you think about it, just apply the same mechanics from the in-game spinner.
