I don't know if it's your cup of tea, but Neovide provides smooth scrolling at arbitrary refresh rates. (It's a graphical frontend for Neovim, my IDE of choice.)
Do you use it combined with terminal emulators?
Wouldn't that result in vertical scroll snapping to textual lines, and horizontal scroll snapping to character widths?
A personal preference I suppose for navigation, but a bit jumpy to read from while moving rapidly.
the whole point is that its not in a terminal. its a gui frontend.
I was more curious about horizontal/vertical scroll snapping of text, given if the underlying vim properties are still limited to terminal style rendering of whole fractions of text lines and fixed characters, then it's less of a concern what exactly the GUI front end is.
