iirc it also dont track cursor in non-vim mode without clicking
we may allow user customize this: sync preview when keyboard/mouse triggered selection change. currently we only respond to mouse events
That would be great, as I never use the mouse for navigation. I think that goes for most people who use the Vim mode.
There is a finished branch, https://github.com/Enter-tainer/typst-preview/tree/scroll-sync-by-keyboard
But I'm not sure whether you will like it, because typst doesn't provide perfect span, so it doesn't scroll your content smoothly.
There is also another solution, you can bind a shortcut to typst-preview.sync, and stroke the key to scroll content. I believe you mostly do writing in a same page.

After testing a bit, I recall that the blocker of this feature, scrolling content by keyboard events, is not inperfect spans, but inaccurate scrolling. Though it is not quite perfect, the scroll-sync-by-keyboard branch is ready to merge and use since we had improved accuracy of scrolling content.
The new variant of typst-preview.scrollSync, onSelectionChange, is introduced in #233.
The previous onSelectionChange mode is renamed to onSelectionChangeByMouse, and the new variant which make scrolloSync follow both mouse and cursor is named onSelectionChange.
close since #233
