Get imwheel to Work for the Arrow Keys?

Navigating VS Code with my arrow keys is not as fast as I'd like it to be. The program itself doesn't seem to have any packages to support such a feature, so I was trying to find an application to fix this on my distro.

I tried imwheel but it seems to only work for the mouse wheel and not the up and down keys. I've tried the following configs:

# Speed up scrolling for the document viewer
"^code-oss$"
    None, Up, Up, 4
    None, Down, Down, 4

# Speed up scrolling for the document viewer
"^code-oss$"
    None, Up, Button4, 4
    None, Down, Button5, 4

But both of these configs only apply to my mousewheel, when I want to stay on my keyboard when programming.

I'm wondering if there is any built-in system settings to get arrow key scrolling to activate faster and move faster. A feature for smooth-scrolling would be nice too.
