About SmoothKeyScroll
Smooth Key Scroll is a browser extension that lets users control page scrolling from the keyboard. Users can adjust scroll speed while scrolling by holding Alt to go faster or Ctrl to go slower. The extension also offers alternative directional key layouts, which are enabled in its options page after installation. It can automatically turn off mouse hover effects while a page is scrolling, which the site says can hurt scrolling performance, and turn them back on when scrolling stops. The homepage lists the extension as available in the Chrome Web Store and lists macOS and web as platforms.
