Fast text scrolling in VS Code


I am testing out Visual Studio Code on macOS, and was wondering if there is a key combination for faster scrolling?

I would need this, for example, to go quickly from an early part of the code to a part towards the end of the file.

e.g. in Emacs when I hold up/down-arrow and hit Ctrl, the scroll speed increases noticeably; VS Code actually stops scrolling with the same command. Cmd+arrow will get me to the start / end of the file, but I could not find a combination that merely speeds things up and nothing in the keyboard shortcuts looked helpful.

Version is 1.21.1.
