## What it is
A Vim/Neovim plugin that provides smooth, stable animated scrolling for commands like Ctrl-D and Ctrl-F. It focuses on a jitter-free scrolling experience with sane defaults and customizable mappings.

- you prefer a focused plugin over feature-heavy alternatives prone to visual glitches

## When to avoid
- you need smooth scrolling for every movement command, not just the common ones
- you run Vim over a very slow connection where frequent redraws hurt performance
- you use an old Vim/Neovim version below the minimum requirements
