PrimaryScrollController class

Associates a ScrollController with a subtree.

When a ScrollView has ScrollView.primary set to true, the ScrollView uses of to inherit the PrimaryScrollController associated with its subtree.

A ScrollView that doesn't have a controller or the primary flag set will inherit the PrimaryScrollController, if shouldInherit allows it. By default shouldInherit is true for mobile platforms when the ScrollView has a scroll direction of Axis.vertical. This automatic inheritance can be configured with automaticallyInheritForPlatforms and scrollDirection.

Inheriting this ScrollController can provide default behavior for scroll views in a subtree. For example, the Scaffold uses this mechanism to implement the scroll-to-top gesture on iOS.

Another default behavior handled by the PrimaryScrollController is default ScrollActions. If a ScrollAction is not handled by an otherwise focused part of the application, the ScrollAction will be evaluated using the scroll view associated with a PrimaryScrollController, for example, when executing Shortcuts key events like page up and down.
