What it does

• Scrolls by a configurable number of visual lines
• Keeps the cursor and selection exactly where they are
• Supports smooth animation and continuous key repeat
• Works in Editing and Reading modes
• Uses the active view's line height, so movement stays accurate across themes and font sizes

Shortcuts

Change either binding in Settings > Hotkeys. Assign the commands there if you also want to use them in Reading mode.

Settings

Open Settings > Scroll Line to change:

• Lines per scroll: Number of lines moved by each keypress
• Smooth scroll: Animate movement instead of jumping instantly

Install

Open Scroll Line in the Obsidian Community directory, then press Add to Obsidian.

For a manual installation, download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release, then place them in <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/scroll-line/.
