Description
in Vim, there is an option to jump the scroll according to the percentage of the document.
{count}%
where count is in number. e.g: typing 50% in normal mode would scroll to position 50% of the page current value. The challenge is to know the current value of page length, as some page updates the more you scroll the pages.
Excerpt from Vim documentation
{count}% Go to {count} percentage in the file, on the first
non-blank in the line |linewise|. To compute the new
line number this formula is used:
({count} * number-of-lines + 99) / 100

Research direction

Done means percentage commands scroll to the corresponding current-page position, including pages whose length changes as they are scrolled.
