Change scrollspeed for ctrl + arrows in Visual Studio?

Question

I don’t want to take my hands on the keyboard every time I look at a document, so I started using ctrl + up and ctrl + down. But this is so sloooooow, is there a way to get it to scroll more than one line per click?

Answer 1

Whenever the keyboard tires, AutoHotkey always saves the day!

This AutoHotkey macro should do the trick:

^DOWN:: send ^{DOWN}^{DOWN}^{DOWN} ;send Ctrl+Down 3 times return ^UP:: send ^{UP}^{UP}^{UP} ;send Ctrl+Up 3 times return 

This is a pretty rude decision, but it seems to do what you want.

Answer 2

In addition to the Auto Hot Key comment, I would like to publish a script I use:

 #SingleInstance Force #CommentFlag // // Script affects scroll speed only when Visual Studio window is active. #IfWinActive, [Name of Project] - Microsoft Visual Studio // Ctrl+Up = Ctrl+Up * 20 ^Up:: Send, ^{Up 20} Return // Ctrl+Down = Ctrl+Down * 20 ^Down:: Send, ^{Down 20} Return // Scroll Up = Scroll Up * 20 WheelUp:: Send, {WheelUp 15} Return // Scroll Down = Scroll Down * 20 WheelDown:: Send, {WheelDown 15} Return // Pressing Escape stops the script. Esc::ExitApp 

Answer 3

No, this is not possible with the default key bindings in Visual Studio. They allow you to scroll only one line at a time.

You can do this by creating a macro and running the Edit.MoveControlUp command several times.

PgUp and PgDn work for me. I hate using a mouse.

Answer 5

In the Keyboard Properties control panel, you can set character repeat options. You can set the repeat delay (long ↔ short) and the repetition speed (slow ↔ fast).

Answer 6

You say per click, I assume that you mean every click of the mouse wheel.

I found a simple plugin that gives nitrous oxide for scroll speed when you hold CTRL

The CTRL key is usually closed by my “keyboard” hand, and in combination with the mouse is faster than the Page Up / Page Down keys.

It’s also good that the speed is “normal” when you don’t hold CTRL , so you can also have accuracy.
