Improve scrolling

[greazer]

We have had many user complaints on surveys or other feedback channels about scrolling problems. Here's a bunch of issues related to it:

microsoft/vscode -> is:issue is:open in:title scroll label:notebook,notebook-layout,interactive-window,notebook-output
microsoft/vscode-jupyter -> is:issue is:open in:title scroll

Here are some papercuts that @claudiaregio identfied as possibly being related to the feedback she's seen

• Notebook slow scrolling caused by update layer tree vscode#126880
• Allow smooth scrolling with arrow keys in notebooks vscode#130942 (user refers to current scrolling as "clunky, especially with large cells"
• Native Notebooks - Different behavior between click run and shift + enter run vscode#129713
• Keep viewpoint (don't scroll) when Shift+Enter is pressed #5186
• Native Notebooks - Outline selection does not go to top vscode#123828

Currently (insider 1.61), notebook does not support the smooth scroll preference that is used with the mouse scroll wheel.
In JSON, this setting is "editor.smoothScrolling": true,.

+1 for improved scrolling in cell outputs. This is especially troublesome for pandas DataFrames (a couple of examples attached below, including truncated values):

Pandas has a couple of commands to change the number of output rows and columns within Jupyter and JupyterLab, e.g.:

• pandas.set_option('display.max_rows', 1000)
• pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', 100)

...but these configurations are not honored within VS Code. Is there a way that we could notify the user that they would need to change "notebook.output.textLineLimit": n, if they attempt to use pandas.set_options; or just take care of the change for them behind the scenes?

Related issues:

• Output truncated with no way to view all output in the notebook itself #7096
• Scroll settings are not honored in Native Notebook #4406

Was this feature solved? Because I still have the same issue, may I ask how to fix that? I have the latest version.
