scroll-padding

The scroll-padding CSS shorthand property sets scroll padding on all sides of an element at once. It specifies offsets that define the optimal viewing region of a scrollport within a scroll container.

The scroll-padding property is a shorthand that sets scroll-padding-top, scroll-padding-right, scroll-padding-bottom, and scroll-padding-left, in that order, setting the top, right, bottom, and left scroll padding of a scroll container, respectively.

Useful when creating scroll-snap containers, the scroll-padding property enables defining offsets for the optimal viewing region of the scrollport: the region used as the target region for placing elements in view of the user. This allows you to create insets in the scrollport to make room for objects that might obscure the content, such as fixed-positioned toolbars or sidebars, or to put more breathing room between a targeted element and the edges of the scrollport.

Syntax example: scroll-padding: auto;
