Quick Tip VS Code: Enable sticky scrolling

When browsing large files containing yaml and json data structures, I often lose track of where I am. I recently found the sticky navigation feature built into Visual Studio code.

To enable it, go to the settings and search for "sticky". Then enable the setting

Editor > Sticky Scroll: Enabled

This is what it looks like in action.

I find it very useful to have some guidance on where I'm at in json, yaml or even methods.
