I tried it, but it didn't work.
Ah no it doesn't either. There are some strange inconsistencies with
smoothscroll - gk works as expected sometimes, if the paragraph is
already partially visible when navigating into it, but not other times,
especially when just using gk to scroll up the page. It's the same with
clicking in the paragraph with the mouse - sometimes it just moves the
cursor, other times it scrolls so the start of the line is visible.

Interesting. So does that mean that this behavior is too deep inside Vim to
change?
I don't think so, features like smoothscroll are very new and are added
over time. But any new option has to be "optional" and not change the
existing behaviour unexpectedly.
