Avoiding mouse scrolling in Gedit when editing long documents

  • 772

I need a solution specifically for the Gedit Editor:

When editing long documents I want to avoid having to scroll down with the mouse when hitting the end of the page.

Is there a solution to avoid the mouse? Vim offers the neat scrolloff feature but I haven't found anything for Gedit (see here).

Any suggestions?

  1. Option 1:

    Page Up and Page Down keys do this, but may move you further than you want.

    Option 2:

    I don't know if this works in gedit, but it does in kate, the KDE equivalent. Ctrl+↑ or Ctrl+↓ scrolls the page down or up, one line at a time. Unfortunately, it doesn't move the cursor with it.
