We should probably understand what Vim is doing now and why before
making severe changes and possibly reinventing rules.
While I agree that Vim's behavior can appear random, I do appreciate
that it seems to try to minimize scrolling and surprising jumps.
For example, when using % to jump between the top and bottom of
a block delimited by { and } or by #if and #endif, if the target
line is just off the top or bottom of the screen, Vim will scroll
the screen just a bit so that the target line and the cursor are at
the top or bottom line of the screen, as appropriate.
My guess is that there is a parameter somewhere in the code that
tells Vim, "if the screen would need to be scrolled less than
N lines to display the target line, scroll as little as possible;
otherwise, jump and center the cursor."
Maybe it would be sufficient to let users adjust that parameter, if
it exists.
Regards,
Gary
