Subject: doc-view.el -- switching pages without having to scroll up again
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 04:55:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110204035551.GB21916@andres.andreas> (raw)

Hi! 

For some time I used doc-view for reading PDFs and reading
documentation (like the emacs-intro.pdf). But when I have the document
on a reasonable, readable zoom level and scroll through page by page
reading it I have this workflow at the moment:
 - read page 
 - scroll down a few times to get the last lines, too
 - press PgDown to get to the new page
 - scroll up to the top of the page to keep going on reading it

The last part (scrolling up again) is an annoyance when enjoying an
otherwise good read. I made a IMHO pathetic patch like this:

I know this is evil especially with the search and all but I would
love if anyone would recommend a better way to fix this.
