Scroll Faster

Visual Studio Code extension "scroll-faster" allows you to scroll the editor up and down faster, by "x" number of lines using keybindings, where "x" can be user defined.
This overrides the keybindings for the default "scrollLineUp" and "scrollLineDown" binded to "Ctrl+UpArrow/DownArrow" (windows) to allow the same action with the same keybindings but just 'faster'.

Features

• Scroll editor multiple lines at once using the same scroll keybindings.
• Custom line numbers to scroll by through the "set scroll lines by..." setting from command palette or user settings.
• Optional cursor follow feature, where cursor can be set to follow along the scroll at the edge of the view port instead of being left behind at original position by default
• Allow reverse scrolling by setting the number of lines to scroll the editor on every scroll to a negative number
• Extension activated on vscode startup using the "*" activation event.
