Improving Hash Bookmarks

In regards to the Hash Bookmarks setting:

Add hash bookmarks
On each slide, a # will be added to the end of the url in the url bar. These urls are bookmarkable, so you can share or return to the same place in the timeline later.

This is very helpful, but there are two things that are preventing me from using this feature:

1) Eliminating the "Hash" for the first "default" slide.
I do not believe this should be happening on the first slide. That is not useful for those placing the timeline in a block on a page that isn't completely dedicated to the timeline. Reason: the link to the page that embeds the timeline is "always" the link to the default (First or Last) slide.

2) Scroll to timeline if hash link is accessed.
I have a very long page with a timeline at the bottom. If the hash bookmarks are intended to bring people to a particular slide, this feature is meaningless in my use case.

Thank you in advance and hoping this gets some attention.

Start by locating the Hash Bookmarks implementation and reproducing the behavior for the first or default slide and for a timeline embedded near the bottom of a long page. Done means the default slide does not add an unnecessary hash, while a hash link scrolls the page to the timeline and opens the requested slide.
