Vim

Describe the bug I use the VSCode feature to fold methods/comments quite often, and <C-e> shortcuts to move between lines quite often. The problem arises when you fold a method and try to <C-e> through it. It just stops before it. <C-y> works properly by jumping through the folded element and allowing you to scroll.

To Reproduce Fold a comment/method/etc and try to <C-e> through it.

Expected behavior When method/comment/etc. is folded jump through it and allow me to keep moving through text.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.38.1
• VSCode version: Version: 1.38.1
• OS:MAC OS

I haven't looked closely, but since VSCode doesn't tell us where folds are, we may not be able to solve this

This also for me, was a real bummer.

First off, this is not a problem with vim then more with the "command": "editorScroll" It's possible to fix it with scrolling the viewport not scrolling by lines (which are kind of inaccessible when they live inside folds).

A more detailed description of the issue is found here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/61552

For me, the solution was to use this plugin: Scroll Viewport. It's made by one of the participants of the linked thread, who also experienced this problem. Just bind it to <ctrl-e> and add the desired line numbers to scroll into your settings.

edit: the extension above had the disadvantage of not respecting scrollOff. Also it was providing just one scrolling command - as user may face problems with not just one scroll command around folds a fix for those situations was missing.

In the end I wrote an extensino that solves these issues and allows useful keyboard scrolling commands that won't get obsurced by folds: https://github.com/tobealive/german-scroll.code
