With respect to scrolling, etc., one comment (or question, I'm not sure).
I've been using for years Mikael Sjödin's pager.el (available at

short functions, and its main advantage is that allows you to do

Thanks. The change should be reflected in the documentation as well.
I attached patches for man/display.texi and lispref/windows.texi.

It would only affect scrolling commands. But it will affect
e.g. `C-n' and `C-p' which will be remapped to functions which
actually do scrolling.

The mode does two things: First, it fixes point at its vertical
position during scrolling and second, it turns commands for vertically
moving point by lines or paragraphs into commands which scroll the
buffer by the respective amount. This results in a more pager- or

This is the main point of the mode. It should make moving in buffers
more pager-like.

I think extending the `scroll-preserve-screen-position' is a good
thing.
in a German newsgroup somebody asked if it would be possible to keep
the position of point fixed while doing vertical motion ...
Yes. Here are defuns and keybindings to do this for arrow keys.
These go into a .emacs file. Point stays fixed until it comes to the
top or bottom of a window; t

This is the main point of the mode. It should make moving in buffers
more pager-like. For example, in `less' the keys `C-n' and `C-
It seems like a feature worth adding. However, is it really right
to modify next-line? It is not a scroll command.

Hi everybody,
in a German newsgroup somebody asked if it would be possible to keep
the position of point fixed while doing vertical motion, i.e. to have
a behavior commonly referred to as scroll lock. Such a behavior can
be useful when you are primarily reading (in contrast to editing) a
