I am testing out Visual Studio Code on macOS, and was wondering if there is a key combination for faster scrolling?
I would need this, for example, to go quickly from an early part of the code to a part towards the end of the file.
e.g. in Emacs when I hold up/down-arrow and hit Ctrl, the scroll speed increases noticeably; VS Code actually stops scrolling with the same command. Cmd+arrow will get me to the start / end of the file, but I could not find a combination that merely speeds things up and nothing in the keyboard shortcuts looked helpful.
Version is 1.21.1.

Use Ctrl+Mouse Wheel for fast and easy Page Up/Down scrolling.
VS Code has been updated and its settings UI also has changed. So to enable smooth scrolling in VS Code. Go to settings and just search smooth you can just enable this setting to enable smooth scrolling.
Use Your Spacebar to Scroll Down (and up) Webpages Faster (December 8, 2020) Using either the scroll bar or the arrow keys to move down a web page can be slow and time consuming. The next time you need to scroll down on a webpage try tapping the spacebar on your keyboard for faster scrolling.
View > Appearance > Zoom In (Ctrl+=) - increase the Zoom level.
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. Any VS Code settings through the contributes.configuration extension point.
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.
Pressing the Alt key enables fast scrolling in the editor and Explorers. By default, fast scrolling uses a 5X speed multiplier but you can control the multiplier with the Editor: Fast Scroll Sensitivity ( editor.fastScrollSensitivity) setting. Keyboard Shortcut: Shift+Alt+Up or Shift+Alt+Down
When the touchpad gestures fails (that happened 2 times), the scrolling backs to normal, in other words: there is a correlation; I have already decreased to the maximum all the scrolling speed settings, whether in vscode or windows.
Update: Since v1.31 you can now press Alt to enable fast scrolling. It works by activating editor.fastScrollSensitivity.
