What's the reverse action of ctrl-y?

Question

As title. Just like the case where <C-n> and <C-p> is a pair. I would like to know how to scroll down one line at a time.

ctrl+y is't a standard command. I think you have a plugin installed that have implemented ctrl+y for you. And for your other question, scroll down one line should be achievable by pressing j. — Merajul Arefin Pial, Oct 03 '22 at 10:49
@MerajulArefinPial I will not call the behavior of j "scrolling down". By scrolling down I mean showing one more line at the bottom(and thus hide the first line) of the current window/buffer. — NeoZoom.lua, Oct 03 '22 at 11:01
@MerajulArefinPial Ctrl-e/y are even in the original vi. They move the page, not the cursor. — paradroid, Oct 03 '22 at 17:29

While it might sound hilarious but since there are only a-z keys there to try so I just tried all combinations and found that <C-e> is what I need. Thanks to everyone for reading and trying to help in the comment section.

An easier way to find this out is :help ctrl-y, which is in the "scrolling upwards" section, and if you scroll that page up a bit more then there's a "scrolling downwards" section. :help index is also useful, and lists all keybinds (:help normal-index for normal mode mappings). Also see How do I navigate to topics in Vim's documentation? – Martin Tournoij Oct 03 '22 at 13:53
