I tested some, most are OK, one of them is better, feels better, but I won't insist on its name or author name in order to not favour any one of them. Those 'SmoothScroll' extensions for Visual Studio only exist to add the missing appropriate mouse message handling to Visual Studio.

It just is that it does not handle them as some other applications. With Microsoft Remote Desktop, you can be productive no matter where you are.

Using my Mac trackpad through a RDP session to a Windows machine where I run Visual Studio, those appropriate messages reach Visual Studio. Use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, admin-provided virtual apps and desktops, or remote PCs. That is, how to translate those smaller ticks to smaller scroll increments (possibly sub-line scrolling) or accumulating them for a while until some threshold is reached at which point it scrolls a line or whatever unit feels appropriate for the application. Those messages deliver to the application a count of 'ticks smaller than a notch' and the applications have to decide how to handle them. To support smooth scroll, and even more accelerated scroll depending on the way you 'rotate' the wheel, and match more or less properly what happens when you move fingers through a trackpad, slowly or quickly, the application has to handle additional Windows API messages. You know those mouse wheels which had notches which you could feel when rotating the wheel. So it lives in the late '90s when scroll was a matter of knowing 'by how many lines should I scroll the content when I get 1 notch from the mouse wheel'. The code editor of Visual Studio (2019) does not do so. In order to implement proper reaction to 'smooth scrolling', as modern mice can support it or trackpads, the application best needs to handle some specific messages in the proper way. There are multiple ways to support scrolling inside an application, from a developer point of view.
