Intellij set keyboard scroll speed?

Is there a way to set the keyboard scroll speed in IntelliJ? When I hold down the up and down arrows the movement is too slow for me and frustrates me when moving through a file.

For Linux key repeat settings, see https://askubuntu.com/a/846035/456255.

These settings are under Settings → Universal Access → Typing → Repeat Keys. You have to click the Repeat Keys row item, which brings up a pop-up dialog with two settings: Delay and Speed.

Unfortunately, it's not possible natively, even in 2022. What @Finesse suggestd works, but only to a certain extent. I wanted to go even faster.

There's a plugin called "Jumper" though, that allows you to jump X lines using a predefined key-binding. I remapped the existing scroll buttons to use the "Jumper" actions and now I'm able to scroll (it's really moving the cursor) X lines at once.

If you use Mac, go to the System Preferences application, click the Keyboard icon, the Keyboard tab and adjust the Repeat settings:

  • Key Repeat determines how fast a caret moves.
  • Delay Until Repeat determines how soon a caret starts moving after pressing a keyboard arrow.

If you're using Windows the program Keyboard King will allow you do this by overriding the operating systems limits for specific keys, the 'up' and 'down' keys in your case.

You can download it here http://bandwidthcontroller.com/Keyboard%20King/index.html
