Smooth scrolling in the terminal and vscode?

[marcinczenko]

Anyone using VSCode (visual-studio-code-bin) and managed to get smooth scrolling working well? It is equally bad as in the terminal...

I also tried the insider edition where the problem of smooth scrolling has been addressed. It is way of better with the option Inertial Scroll, but nothing close to macOS with regular vscode installation.

On chromium (smooth scrolling enabled in the settings under chrome://flags)) I have perfect scrolling. My ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf has:

emulate_discrete_scroll = 0
scroll_factor = 0.2

Go to vscode setting(ui) > search "Smooth Scrolling", enable all three as your choice!

If it would be that simple, I would not create a discussion for it ;). If you google for it, you will find out that this is a common problem (actually, there are many related problem - just for reading it you can get a headache…). Vscode insiders introduced an inertial scroll option (next to “smooth scrolling”) to address this specific problem on mobile devices and - to some extent, indirectly - on Linux. So, no, setting “Smooth Scrolling” in VScode has no impact on smooth scrolling under my (and from what I can read no only mine) Arch Linux Omarchy setup.

Here some useful links:

• Wayland smooth scrolling enabled not respected microsoft/vscode#182499
• Fix smooth scrolling Linux Wayland. microsoft/vscode#205122

Maybe it is time to ditch VScode and get back to a normal editor (neovim) again. Scrolling is not productive anyway… ;).
