I have received several requests for this when talking to authors (e.g. https://bsky.app/profile/jpzwarte.bsky.social/post/3llnx3uavjc2i) and also have had this need myself. Regarding the naming: velocity is a measured _speed_ in a certain _direction_ _([ref](https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-speed-and-velocity))_ so I believe the thing that should be requested here is a way to set the _speed_, not the velocity. On previous occasions I’ve chatted with @argyleink about this, and we were thinking of a `animation-speed` CSS property to set this. Something like `animation-speed: 500px/1s`. One of the immediate pieces of feedback I got on this from @flackr (and something that I also see mentioned in this thread) is that this would only be able to deal with things that are related to a distance. My current thinking here is that the `animation-speed` could perhaps accept a dimension to deal with, which would make it derive things from there – e.g. `animation-speed: rotate 3deg/1s` would look at the rotation “distance” at the end state and then base the timing for the entire animation off of that. It’s still a rough idea, but perhaps it could inspire people to having better ideas for this. -- GitHub Notification of comment by bramus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5091#issuecomment-3214363876 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
