Is there a hidden setting in RStudio somewhere for enabling / disabling smooth scrolling in RStudio editor windows / panes? As far as I know, smooth scrolling in the editor is only possible by moving the scroll bar with the mouse. Enabling smooth scrolling in the Editor settings would be a substantial Quality of Life improvement to my R, and RStudio, coding experience. Especially when working in RStudio for a long time, the instant, jumping scrolling can get quite rough with inevitable eye strain and migraines.
I don't know for sure that it does what is being asked for, but the Ace editor does have a smooth scrolling option (and we don't currently use it): animatedScroll
Also, this wouldn't apply to the Visual Editor, which uses a different underlying engine.
