That is convenient in cases where I recall a pattern that otherwise would require scrolling to see. Or where I have zeroxed the window and the other one shows the end of the passage in question. But otherwise I may as well use k and '. And of course k and ' (and snarf and paste) work well enough. It is just that acme's scroll-select (and chording) is so much more convenient! Chording as such is possible in p9p sam with one simple modification in the source, but it is the combination with scroll-select that counts here. Mark.
