How to make smooth scrolling in VSC terminal?

Question

I'm working in VSC and writting nodejs and I am faced with a scroll problem in long terminal outputs, scroll on the right side of terminal with slider goes too many rows too fast if I use them, so, question is, do we have smooth scroll option in integrated terminal to read output easy and line by line with arrows or we must use another external terminal for that? Thanks.

In vscode v1.42 (early February, 2020) two new commands related to terminal mouse wheel scroll sensitivity will be introduced:

Scrolling sensitivity

The terminal's scrolling sensitivity can now be configured independent of the editor using the new settings terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity and terminal.integrated.fastScrollSensitivity.

See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_42.md#scrolling-sensitivity

Thanks to @Sean and @user9811991 in the comments for pointing out that the setting is a multiplier. My terminal normally scroll three lines at a time, to get it to scroll only one line I had to set terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to 0.08.
