Smooth scrolling in gvim

Hi, I’m a long-time gvim user on mac, windows, and linux. For a long time, macs have had smooth scrolling, accurate down to the pixel (not confined to snapping position by line), but now the latest windows 10 also has smooth scrolling, with two-finger swipe gesture, and because gvim jumps by whole lines, it’s difficult to see, and it scrolls far too fast. I’ve been forced to start using VSCode with Vim plugin, because it supports smooth scrolling. VSCode with vim plugin is pretty good, but it’s not a full implementation of vim, so it’ not as good as real gvim (if only there were smooth scrolling).

 

Is it possible, or difficult, to add smooth scrolling to gvim?

 

Thanks…
