This extension aims to ease the read of large files, by setting the cursor (caret) at a fixed position. That way the eyes do not have to jump up and down.
Features
Fixed Cursor Position: Keeps your cursor at a fixed position from the top of the viewport
Configurable Position: Adjust how many lines from the top your cursor should be fixed
Visual Feedback: Status bar indicator shows when the extension is active
Easy Toggle: Turn the feature on/off with a keyboard shortcut
Why Use Caret Scroller?
When navigating through large files, it can be disorienting to have your cursor move up and down in the viewport. This extension keeps your cursor at a consistent position (by default, 3 lines from the top), making it easier to focus on the code you're working with.
Usage
Keyboard Shortcuts
Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+T: Toggle Caret Scroller on/off
Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+F: Force cursor to fixed position (useful if scrolling gets out of sync)
Commands
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for:
Toggle Caret Scroller: Turn the extension on/off
Set Caret Scroller Position: Change how many lines from the top the cursor should be fixed (0-10)
Force Cursor To Top Position: Immediately move the cursor to the fixed position
Status Bar
The extension adds an indicator to the status bar:
Caret: ON (3): Extension is active, cursor fixed at line 3 from top
Caret: OFF: Extension is inactive
Click on the status bar item to toggle the extension on/off.
