Fun fact: this is a feature for old people, because they aren’t able to scroll that fast.
The Alt key was chosen because in German it means "old". -

The Alt key, short for Alternate key, has its origins in the early IBM PCs. It was introduced as a modifier key to provide alternate functions for certain keys on the keyboard. Over time, the Alt key became a standard feature on keyboards and is now widely used in combination with other keys to perform various functions, such as keyboard shortcuts in software applications.
