[Feature request] preview follow cursor #455

Closed biocyberman closed 4 years ago

I find my self scroll up and down to find the portion of preview that is corresponding to the line/paragraph I am writing. It will be really nice to have the preview follow the cursor.

Try setting the first two options in the 'Preview position synchronization behaviour' section of the MPP settings? Preview position synchronization behaviour settings section with three toggle options visible: 1. Sync preview position when text in editor changes; 2. Sync preview position when text editor is scrolled; 3. Sync editor position when preview is scrolled. The first two are turned on, the third one is turned off.

Bear in mind that synchronization works well only with markdown-it renderer, with pandoc it's a bit of a mixed bag, sometimes it works well enough, and sometimes it breaks spectacularly. And by "breaks" I mean "seemingly randomly scrolls to an absolutely unrelated part of the document".

I came here to ask to this feature for use with Atom on Ubuntu. I realize now that I was using an old version of this package without those settings because apt-get was giving me an old version of Atom that was incompatible with the newest version of this package.

I reinstalled Atom via the .deb file on their website, and that allowed me to install the latest version of this package with this feature.
