Is there a way in JetBrains IDE's to set a keyboard shortcut to move the caret/cursor to the center?

Question

I am looking for a command in JetBrains IDE's (specifically WebStorm and Rider) to set a keyboard shortcut that will center the caret in the center of the editor page.

Is this possible with a shortcut or extension?

Just to be clear, I don't want to move the page to center the caret (which already exists with s shortcut), I want to move the caret to the center of the page, without moving the editor page view.

Sure, you can just use Ctrl + M to move the caret to centre of the screen.

If you don't want to have to hit Ctrl + M all the time, you can also achieve what you want by using the IdeaVim plugin

1. Open the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S)
2. Select Plugins.
3. Find the IdeaVim plugin and install.

4. Create $HOME/.ideavimrc
5. Add set scrolloff=XX where XX is at least half the total lines you would usually see. Setting 'scrolloff' to a large value causes the cursor to stay in the middle line when possible. e.g. set scrolloff=999
6. Restart your IDE.
