Keep Your Context with Sticky Scroll

February 15, 2026

Ever find yourself scrolling through a massive file and forgetting which function or class you're actually inside? VS Code has a feature called "Sticky Scroll" that pins the current scope (like class headers or loop conditions) to the top of the editor. It's a total game-changer for staying oriented in complex logic without constantly scrolling back up to check where you are.

You can toggle it easily by searching for "Sticky Scroll" in your settings. It’s one of those small UI tweaks that significantly reduces cognitive load when you're deep in the weeds of a large codebase.
