## Fast scrolling with Alt+mouse wheel

You can move through large files faster by holding the **Alt** key while scrolling the mouse wheel in the code editor. On a touchpad, hold the **Alt** key while moving two fingers up or down.

For more information, see [Configure advanced Text Editor options](options-text-editor-advanced.md#fast-scroll-multiplier).

You can press and hold the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) in the code editor and then move the mouse to scroll quickly through the document in any direction. A cursor icon with directional arrows appears to indicate that middle-click scrolling is active.
