instead you are forcing people who are not useing 'zoom to fit' to scroll manually and slowly to read everything as I stated in the other thread I think this is a bad idea. one thing I have seen programs do (which I found slightly annoying, but tolorable) is to page a screen at a time but go to the top of the page when crossing a page boundry besides, when using 'zoom to fit' moving a page at a time should be exactly the same thing as moving a screen at a time. if you zoom to fit width and then page down through a document you should see everything in that document, not just the tops of the pages. > - add "continuous pages" and "single pages" to the "zoom to width" menu > (this should probably be a toggle instead). please explain more about how things would operate in these two different modes? > I wanted to try fixing the nonrotated rocker switch in e-book mode also, > but haven't found a good place to do that yet.

I believe that there needs to be a better way for an application to define how these keys work for it (ideally including the rotate key) David Lang _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
