vim-scroll Extension

Simple j/k/h/l/gg/G scrolling.
Nothing more, nothing less.

The plugin allows scroll navigation with the keyboard:
Press the j key to scroll down
Press the k key to scroll up
Press the h key to scroll left
Press the l key to scroll right
Press the g key twice to scroll to the top
Press the G (shift + g) key to scroll to the bottom

CHANGELOG:
v4 fixed issue with scrolling when typing in input fields and similar.
v5 fixed issue with slow scrolling on some pages
v5.0.1 remove console.log statement

DESCRIPTION:
vim-scroll deliberately registers it's keybindings early, so that websites that use the same bindings (like twitter) will overwrite them.
This might be made optional in later updates

Justin S (ID: 00000061a2e008b2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 Such a small yet huge help in your daily workflow. Will love it. Just wish there was support for Ctrl + D/U scrolling as that's the best way to vertically scroll IMO. Would need to override Brave's default binding of Ctrl + D being 'to bookmark' but surely that's achievable?
