Description
I often end up with using mouse to scroll down the page when I am trying to select a very long content which is longer than one page size in visual mode so that I can see where I am.
I'd like to see the page is scrolled down or up automatically and correspondingly when I move out of the current page with 'hjklbwe'.
Or is there a implemented way to satisfy my requirement?

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating Vimium's visual-mode and caret-mode movement handling, then trace how scrolling is currently triggered; done means movement with hjklbwe automatically keeps the selection or caret visible across page boundaries.
