Scrolling Multiple DIV with Variable Content Length Simultaneously at the Same Rate

January 5, 2023: Update and recommended solution at the bottom.

Using plain Javascript or Typescript and no other dependencies, how would the following be implemented?

Two or more DIVs with different content lengths
Scroll at the same rate
Mouse pointer can be over any of the DIVs
When the shorter content DIV (SCD) runs out of content, it stops scrolling but the other DIVs continue to scroll. However, if scrolling reverses direction, the SCD starts reversing its direction until it runs out of content while the other DIVs continue to scroll.

The dozens of implementations of simultaneous multiple DIVs scrolls aren't able to do the above because:

Some assume the content to be the same length.
Only works if the mouse is scrolling over the DIV with the longer content. When the mouse is scrolling over the DIV with shorter content, scrolling stops for both after the SCD runs out of content.
Have DIVs move at different speeds to match the top and bottom of the content which is close to the requirements.

One previous discussion on a similar topic had some solutions that came close, especially a comment by 'Gregor y'. Unfortunately, that solution had both DIVs move at different speeds. The simplified Fiddle for their implementation is available.

function syncOnScroll(selector,SyncFn) {
  if(!SyncFn)return;
  let active = null;
  document.querySelectorAll(selector).forEach((div) => {
    div.addEventListener("mouseenter", (e) => {active = e.target});

    div.addEventListener("scroll", (e) => {
      //ignore inactive-scroll events
      if (e.target !== active) return;

      //push the active-scroll event to synced elements
      document.querySelectorAll(selector).forEach((target) => {
        if (active === target) return;

        SyncFn(target,active);
      });
    });
  });
}

function scrollSync(selector,scrollType) {
    let type = scrollType || 'both';
  function calcPosFn(position,fromRange,fromWidth,toRange,toWidth){ 
    if(fromRange == fromWidth) return 0;
    return Math.floor(
        position   *   ((toRange-toWidth)/
                    (fromRange-fromWidth))
    );
  }
  
  switch(type.toLowerCase()){
    case 'vertical':
        syncOnScroll(selector,function(t,a){
        t.scrollTop=calcPosFn(
            a.scrollTop,
          a.scrollHeight,
          a.clientHeight,
          t.scrollHeight,
          t.clientHeight)});break;
    case 'horizontal':
        syncOnScroll(selector,function(t,a){
        t.scrollLeft=calcPosFn(
            a.scrollLeft,
          a.scrollWidth,
          a.clientWidth,
          t.scrollWidth,
          t.clientWidth)});break;
    case 'both':default:
        syncOnScroll(selector,function(t,a){
        t.scrollTop  = calcPosFn(
            a.scrollTop,
          a.scrollHeight,
          a.clientHeight,
          t.scrollHeight,
          t.clientHeight);
        t.scrollLeft = calcPosFn(
            a.scrollLeft,
          a.scrollWidth,
          a.clientWidth,
          t.scrollWidth,
          t.clientWidth);
      });break;
    }
}

Update:

@Roko's fiddle pretty much answered my question as was stated. He did make a note about fast scrolling. Thanks, Roko!

Based on further discussion with @Roko about Twitter's scroll implementation and his mention of using CSS sticky, a solution by @rootShiv that uses CSS sticky was found that met the concept I was after.

Solution

Edit: The closest I got to a solution is this jsFiddle example.

To give you a starting point (no manual scrollbars scroll implemented yet)

by using the "wheel" event, preventing the default scroll behavior by using Event.preventDefault() and by applying a delta and by using Element.scrollBy()

const elsDIV = document.querySelectorAll(".scrollSyncV");

elsDIV.forEach(el => {

  const elOther = [...elsDIV].filter(e => e !== el)[0];

  el.addEventListener('wheel', evt => {
    evt.preventDefault();
    const delta = Math.sign(evt.deltaY);
    elsDIV.forEach(el => el.scrollBy({top: 90.909 * delta}))
  });
});

body {
  display: flex;
}

.scrollSyncV {
  width: 50%;
  height: 10rem;
  overflow: auto;
  border: 1px solid black;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-size: 2.5rem;
}

.scrollSyncV div {
  border: 10px dashed #aaa;
}
