VS Code: How to scroll split panels simultaneously

Question

I'm trying to compare similar, but different files in VS Code.

Is it possible to scroll both panes at the same time?

I'm referring to Editor Groups in the image below.

Answer 1

It's a highly requested feature, but there's currently no native way to do this.

But you can download the extension Sync Scroll which will scroll all open editor panes

Answer 2

In the Explorer sidebar:

Right-click on package.json -> Select For Compare

Right-click on findoptionswidget.ts -> Compare With Selected

You can then scroll the two panes simultaneously.
