I really like this, but one big complaint is that the auto-scroll after completing a little task isn't correct. So each time after I "pass" a particular section, I have to manually scroll down with my trackpad.

Gregg here from Code School.. we actually tried making it autoscroll down at first. It was too distracting and annoying. Scrolling down when you're ready to continue just felt more natural.

I found another rare, but annoying thing - on German keyboards the "~" is hidden away on the combination "Alt Gr and +", when I try to type that into the prompt under Firefox 17.0 nothing happens. Workaround is to copy-paste. Under Chrome 23.0.1271.95 the same key-combination inserts single quotation marks, weirdly enough, same workaround.

As far as I can tell, it's not possible to go through the lesson using just a keyboard; a mouse is required to scroll or to change focus from the embedded interpreter back to the page itself so that the arrow keys will scroll.

Perhaps leave autoscroll as an option? I don't like having to type, move my hand to the mouse, scroll, move my hand to the keyboard, and repeat.
