Research direction
Start by comparing the requested behavior with the linked vim-smoothie example and its supported scrolling commands. Then locate VSCodeVim's handling of commands such as ^D, ^U, ^F, ^B, gg, and G. Done means smooth scrolling is configurable, works with the Vim extension, and covers the requested movement behavior without disrupting existing scrolling.
