evil-want-C-u-scroll doesn't seem to work

[ghost]

I find that this mode doesn't seem to work for me. If I keep pressing C-u C-u C-u, it doesn't scroll up at all.

It's because any evil-* (ex evil-magit) load evil. (setq evil-want-C-u-scroll t) needs to happen before evil is loaded. If you use something like:

(use-package evil
  :ensure t
  :init
  (setq evil-want-C-u-scroll t)
   ;; make * over a symbol look for other instances
  :config
  (evil-mode 1))

Your :config may not happen before evil-magit loads meaning (setq evil-want-C-u-scroll t) takes place after.

It's also not working with me.
Here is my full package config:

(package-initialize)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)

(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'use-package))
(eval-when-compile (require 'use-package))

(use-package key-chord
  :config
  (key-chord-mode 1))

; the important part here
(use-package evil
  :after key-chord
  :demand t
  :init
  (setq evil-want-C-u-scroll t)     ; ------- here!
  (setq evil-want-keybinding nil)
  :config
  (setq key-chord-two-keys-delay 0.2)
  (key-chord-define evil-insert-state-map "jk" 'evil-normal-state)
  (evil-mode 1))

(use-package evil-collection
  :after evil
  :config
  (setq evil-want-integration t)
  (evil-collection-init))
