A minor mode for Emacs that implements a two-buffer hack to provide continuous scrolling in pdf-tools

This mode works only from Emacs 27 (see here). It includes keybindings to just work also on Spacemacs.

Probably this minor-mode will get updated a few times over the next days so keep your eyes on it, or install it using a Quelpa recipe. Spacemacs users can install the package (using Quelpa) by adding the following lines to the list of additional packages in their .spacemacs file:

(pdf-continuous-scroll-mode :location (recipe
                                       :fetcher github
                                       :repo "dalanicolai/pdf-continuous-scroll-mode.el"))

Then when you open a file in pdf-tools you can just toggle the mode on and of using M-x pdf-continuous-scroll-mode. If you like to to start pdf-tools with the minor mode activated then add a hook by placing the following lines in your dotfile:

(add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook 'pdf-continuous-scroll-mode)

Of course any feedback is welcome (possibly by opening an issue in the repo).

If you like to scroll using the mouse-wheel then you might want to get rid of the mode-line using pdf-cscroll-toggle-mode-line, or in vanilla Emacs you might prefer to just narrow down the mode-line using pdf-cscroll-toggle-narrow-mode-line.

In this comment the user apnewberry posted code to realize a double page layout (and apparently he suggested this pdf-continuous-scroll-hack before)

Show djvu annotations within Emacs (extending djvu.el). There is also a Spacemacs djvu layer which additionally implements smooth scrolling in djvu.
