Touchpad Scrolling is too fast in VSCode

As developers, we must be fast in writing code. And for this purpose we sometimes suggest others to not use their mouse and instead memorize keyboard shortcuts. This usually works and makes us more productive. But a problem with VSCode is when you use your touchpad to scroll, it scrolls too fast. This also happens with Spotify which is another Electron app. So I think this is an issue about it. Or it was...

Today I started looking for a solution and found this at reddit:

  1. Open regedit.exe
    regedit

  2. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech\SmartPad
    scroll_control_mode

  3. Double-click on ScrollControl_Mode and change value from 0 to 1
    edit-scroll_control_mode

This has fixed the issue for me hopefully it works for everyone else too.
