For some reason, I cannot find the Page button, so this is not working for me. But even if I did find the page button, this is not quite what I had in mind. Still, I do appreciate the thorough answer and I certainly will learn to better use the Navigator now, something that I have been meaning to do. My goal is to have the cursor centered on the screen when I type. When I get to a point that is too low or too high, I prefer to scroll so that the cursor is in the center of the screen. This is _not_ a critical procedure, just a personal preference of mine, so there is no real need to reengineer workflows for this. My hope when starting this thread was that I would discover a feature similar to Kate's Ctrl-Arrow function (scrolling).

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
