A Recent Plugin

I have posted something similar here, but basically there is a great plugin that we can use now for scrolling, called terryma/vim-smooth-scroll. It provides a very nice and smooth scrolling.

The install is quite easy:

1 I use Vundle so I simply appended this in .vimrc.bundles :

Bundle terryma/vim-smooth-scroll

In the latest version of Vundle available today, 29th April of 2016, you can put this in your .vimrc:

Plugin 'terryma/vim-smooth-scroll'

2 As stated in the doc, you can set up 3 arguments: distance, duration and speed.

I am using this in my .vimrc file:

noremap   :call smooth_scroll#up(&scroll*2, 10, 4)
noremap   :call smooth_scroll#down(&scroll*2, 10, 4)
