I used a similar (but not identical) multi-column drill-down navigation technique in my Unnamed Gopher Client[0].

However, instead of coding my own scroll gestures, I delegated to CSS Scroll Snap, which works beautifully, even in complicated scrolling scenarios, and scrolls natively.

You can see here how accurate scrolling is: https://i.imgur.com/m9MBo4N.mp4

The main issue is detecting when scrolls end, but that can be addressed with a bit of cleverness.

I highly recommend giving Scroll-snap a try if you can.

Thank you for your advice. I would very much like to depend on native scrolling for managing positions, except that I ran into some roadblocks early on and resorted to javascript. But I will look into CSS scroll snap for this.
