Partial Page Scroll

A VS Code extension that replaces the default full-page Page Up/Page Down behavior with a scroll of a configurable percentage of the visible editor — 50% by default, so a page press moves you half a screen instead of a whole one.

Features

Percentage-based scrolling — Page Up/Page Down move the cursor by a percentage of the currently visible lines rather than a full page.
Configurable amount — set the percentage in 10% steps from 10% to 100% (100% matches the original full-page behavior).
Cursor recentered — after each press, the cursor's new line is scrolled to the vertical center of the editor, instead of landing at the very top or bottom edge.
Rebindable keys — bound to Page Up/Page Down by default, like any other VS Code shortcut you can change it from the Keyboard Shortcuts editor.

Usage

Press Page Up / Page Down in the editor as usual — the cursor moves by the configured percentage of the visible lines instead of a full page, and the view is recentered around it.

Extension Settings

Setting	Description	Default
`partialPageScroll.scrollPercentage`	Percentage of the visible editor height to scroll (10–100, in steps of 10)	`50`

Changing the keybinding

The default keys are Page Up and Page Down. To use different keys, open Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+K Ctrl+S), search for Partial Page Scroll, and rebind partialPageScroll.pageUp / partialPageScroll.pageDown like any other command.

Requirements

None.
