Sidebar scrolls very fast using touchpad in vscode - visual-studio-code

I just downloaded vscode in my new laptop and it works great. The only problem is the scrolling speed in the sidebar and the intellisense scrollbar. Is it possible to reduce the speed of the scrolling in vscode? I reduced it in the editor using the editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity in the settings.json but that only works for the editor and not the sidebar.
I have included a gif screenshot of the sidebar, I was only moving the touchpad a little bit and it moves so fast for my eyes to keep up
Any help would be appreciated it

Try one of these settings:
workbench.list.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity
workbench.list.fastScrollSensitivity
new in vscode 1.59.

VS Code Automatic horizontal scroll when mouse over editor

I have a problem where when I move my mouse cursor over the editor in vs code. It scrolls automatically to end of line, it started when vs code was updated. i checked all of my extensions and disabled them all. and still it happens. Not only when my project files are open but when any config for anything in vs code (including vs code settings). It happened before but went away when I fiddled with editor word warp and disabled horizontal scroll but it wont go away now. Please help I don't know what to do and its driving me nuts to the point I cant work on anything now.

Scrolling has broken in the eclipse

I use SW4STM32 (Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)) and at some point in time scrolling stopped working in the text editor when using the mouse wheel. CTRL+ mouse wheel works fine, but it doesn't fit at all, because it scrolls too much.
Please tell me where it is configured, I searched the entire menu and did not find it.

need to move intellisense popup window in visual studio code

I want to move the intellisense popup window to the left side.
How can I do this?
I tried this solution but it did not help me.
How to make VSCode Intellisense window wider
change width
For adjusting the width, you can drag the right side of the window now, see this SO post for an old animation.
On mac the right of the popup will turn blue when hovered (cursor isn't captured in screenshot) and can be resized. You can also resize vertically by hovering the bottom. It looks like this on mac (not sure about other OS):
change position
The new version (October 2021 (version 1.62)) makes it easy to move the position... sort of. You can now choose to have the editor above or below what you hover. So glad they added it as a feature. This wasn't exactly the problem you had, but when I first searched for moving the intellisense menu, it led me here, so figured I'd add this for others Google sends here.
Simply add the following to settings.json file:
"editor.hover.above": false
Add a comma after it if you have more settings below it:
"editor.hover.above": false,
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
You can try to configure intellisense within VScode using the steps in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense#_customizing-intellisense, though I am not sure if your particular issue could be solved this way.

VS Code's documentation/intellisense popup disappears on mouse over

I am having a problem scrolling through the pop up box after hovering over a variable. It just disappears. I want to be able to scroll through it.
I am on Windows 10 x64 using Visual Studio Code 1.41.1 with Python Extension
Set editor.hover.sticky to true.
Via settings.json:
"editor.hover.sticky": true
Via Settings UI:
As a result of Keep hover visible when the mouse is getting closer to it, in my testing in the Insiders Build v1.72 this is much better. It should be in Stable v1.72 early October, 2022.
From the 1.72 Release Notes
Improved hover
The editor hover used to be quite aggressive in hiding itself,
especially when the mouse was going over an empty area of the editor.
This would make it very difficult to reach some of the actions shown
in the hover. Now, the hover will stay visible as long as the mouse is
moving towards it. The setting "editor.hover.sticky": false will
continue to work as before:
[The Editor > Hover: Sticky setting isn't the real problem, the problem is that the hover disappears before you even get the mouse to it.]

Eclipse/Win7 - Scrolling in Content Assist with mouse without focus

Recently switched from Linux to Windows for development in Eclipse Indigo SR1. In Linux, if I Ctrl-Space'd to open a Content Assist window, I could immediately start scrolling with the mouse wheel (with the cursor over the Content Assist window of course).
Now, in Windows 7, if I try to scroll in the same way the Content Assist window goes away, and whatever editor I have open is scrolled instead.
If I first press Tab to give focus to the Content Assist window, the mouse wheel scrolling works as expected, but I'd much rather it behaved as it did for me on Linux, rather than retrain myself to press Tab every time.
Is there a way to make the mouse work this way with Eclipse?
Found an answer that appears to work. It's a little dated but seems to still do the trick.

Dropped this jar in the eclipse plugins folder and restarted. At first I thought it didn't work, but later I noticed there is a little X button added to your toolbar that you need to toggle. Scrolling seems to work properly now.
