Description
The scrollToTop command with a number before it moves that many steps down from the top of the webpage. It would be even better if this jumped a percentage down the page instead. That original command is useful in text editors where there are definite lines all of the same height and they can be numbered on the side. Since this isn't the case for webpages, there isn't a way to know where the current command will jump to -- nothing to measure by.
This was discussed a while back in https://github.com/philc/vimium/pull/1965. If it's still not desirable to add more commands, just replace the less useful command with the more useful one.

Research direction
Start with the scrollToTop command and review the discussion in pull request 1965. Determine whether the existing numeric behavior should be replaced and how a percentage jump should be defined for webpages; done means the chosen command consistently scrolls by the intended percentage.
