How to make VSCode editor stop scrolling past bottom of a file?

The correct answer is seen here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40588828/1189470

There is a configuration option provided in VSCode for the functionality you specified. To enable it, go to File -> Preferences -> user settings

On the right side of the editor in settings.json paste the below line at the bottom (before closing bracket), save and close.

"editor.scrollBeyondLastLine": false

This will prevent the editor from scrolling beyond the last line.
