feature-request: click below/above scrollbar handle moves one screen height #43564

When viewing the "release notes" on VSCode, I can click above/below the scrollbar handle to scroll up/down one screen height (kind of "relative scroll"). In a regular file to be edited in VSCode, a click above/below the scrollbar handle jumps to the (absolute) position. The latter does also not match with the default Windows behaviour.
This behaviour is also cumbersome in very large files: Even clicking on one of the markers shown in the scrollbar will send you somewhere near, if lucky. After that you have to use the scrollwheel or the scrollbars arrow buttons (both slow).
Therefore this feature-request: Please add a setting to enable a "page wise" scroll when clicking above/below the scrollbar handle. The same applied for the Minimap. But I'll suggest to create two seperate settings.
