how to scroll faster in vim
Scrolling while keeping j or k pressed is too slow.
Doing 10j multiple times isn't ideal either.
How can I go faster while keeping a key pressed ?
I'm using vim for vscode but I imagine the solution probably applies there too.

Use your scroll wheel, set up terminal integration if you need to. It's 2019, don't be held back by Vim's clunky design, use modern features ;)

@AndyRay, one of the selling points of vim is that you don't have to move your hands to the mouse to perform any action, including scrolling.

I believe you're looking for a better way to navigate between say code blocks or similar sections without having to do recursive j's or k's. These are my personal favorites :
- Scrolling through screen with the cursor staying on the same line/present line by Ctrl+y and Ctrl+e
- Moving between paragraphs. Very useful for moving between code blocks(assuming no newline inside the code block :D) like different functions, classes etc by using the { and } keys.
- The best and fastest way to go to move around is by using the available visual cues like keywords on certain lines etc and searching and moving cursor to that point. You can use the / or ? key to search for a particular word and either press Esc to stop search and move to original cursor position or Enter to go to that searched keyword.
- Of course you can advance by full screens using Ctrl+F and Ctrl+B.
- You can directly go to a particular line by typing the line number in normal mode and pressing capital G. eg:- 10G
if you're still wanting to explore more navigation tricks and commands, i strongly recommend you to watch this wonderful talk.
