Scrolling while keeping j or k pressed is too slow. Doing 10j multiple times isn't ideal either.

How can I go faster while keeping a key pressed ? I'm using vim for vscode but I imagine the solution probably applies there too.

If you are looking to speed up the time to get to a specific spot, having many pages. These commands support to keep the keys press if needed to increase speed:

ctrl + f (page down)

ctrl + b (page up)

ctrl + d (scroll window downwards, normally half a a screen)

ctrl + u (scroll window upwards, normally half a a screen)
