About Sticky Scroll Preview

This is the first preview of sticky scroll feature and the feature is disabled by default. Please provide feedbacks if you have any.
Sticky Scroll helps you stay oriented in your code as you scroll, which is also introduced in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. Refer to this post of Visual Studio for animated preview of the original feature.
In sora-editor, it's now experimentally supported, including the sticky line display and options like scope-keeping policy and max sticky line count. We also added support for click navigation - jumping to the sticky line when clicked.
Hope this feature help you enjoy a better coding experience.
