Auto Scroll

Auto Scroll

Auto Scroll is an Obsidian plugin that keeps the active editor moving while you write and navigate. It can scroll when the text cursor reaches a configured point while typing, when you press the Down arrow, or when the mouse pointer moves into a configured edge zone.

Settings

• Enable auto-scroll: turns the behavior on or off.
• Scroll while typing: scrolls when the text cursor reaches the configured trigger point after typing.
• Scroll on Down arrow: moves the viewport every time the Down arrow is pressed.
• Down arrow scroll amount: controls how many pixels the viewport moves per Down arrow press.
• Scroll with mouse near bottom: scrolls downward when the mouse pointer reaches the lower trigger zone.
• Scroll with mouse near top: scrolls upward when the mouse pointer reaches the upper trigger zone.
• Trigger point: the viewport percentage where scrolling begins. The default is 80%. For mouse scrolling, this means the bottom 20% scrolls down and the top 20% scrolls up when both mouse directions are enabled.
• Maximum scroll step: caps how many pixels the plugin scrolls per trigger.
• Scroll cooldown: sets the minimum time between automatic scrolls.
• Only near document bottom: requires the editor to be near the configured document depth before scrolling.
• Document depth: controls where the near-bottom requirement becomes active.
• Smooth scrolling: animates each scroll movement.

Commands

• Toggle auto-scroll: quickly enables or disables the plugin from the command palette.
