Scroll Control

Scroll one line at a time with Ctrl+Up/Down, just like in VSCode, Notepad++, Sublime Text, and other code editors.

That's it. One job, done right.

What it does

In most code editors, Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down scroll the viewport by one line without moving the cursor. Obsidian doesn't have this by default. This plugin adds it.

The cursor stays where it is. Only the view moves.

Installation

From Obsidian Community Plugins (recommended)

1. Open Settings > Community plugins > Browse
2. Search for Scroll Control
3. Click Install, then Enable

Manual installation

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release
2. Create a folder scroll-control inside your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory
3. Place the downloaded files in that folder
4. Restart Obsidian and enable the plugin under Settings > Community plugins

Customizing hotkeys

Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down are bound inside the editor itself, which is what lets the scroll repeat while you hold the key down.

If you would rather use different keys, open Settings > Scroll Control and turn off Use built-in Ctrl+Up/Down. Then go to Settings > Hotkeys, search for "Scroll Control", and assign whatever you like to the two commands:

• Scroll Control: Scroll line up
• Scroll Control: Scroll line down

Both commands are always available in the command palette, whether the built-in binding is on or off.
