vim-scrolloff-fraction

scrolloff as a fraction of window height.

Why?

I don't like my cursor line getting too close to the top or the bottom of the screen. But I also don't like it being an absolutely fixed number of lines, given varying window heights, especially when splitting horizontally. This plugin allows you to set scrolloff to a fraction of the total window height.

Installation

Install with a plugin manager.

Usage

By default scrolloff will be set to 25% of the active window height. You can change it with:

let g:scrolloff_fraction = 0.25

By default quickfix windows use an absolute scrolloff value of 0. You can set an absolute scrolloff value for certain filetypes:

let g:scrolloff_absolute_filetypes = ['qf']
let g:scrolloff_absolute_value = 0
