</template>Features
- Scrollbar sits on top of the scrollable content, taking up no space.
- Scrolling is native; no underlying position movements via CSS transformations.
- Shims pointer behaviors only when interacting with the controls, so keyboard controls are unaffected.
- Supports Right to Left direction.

Accessibility
In most cases, it's best to rely on native scrolling and work with the customization options available in CSS. When that isn't enough, ScrollArea provides additional customizability while maintaining the browser's native scroll behavior (as well as accessibility features, like keyboard scrolling).
Keyboard Interactions
Scrolling via keyboard is supported by default because the component relies on native scrolling. Specific keyboard interactions may differ between platforms, so we do not specify them here or add specific event listeners to handle scrolling via key events.
