I apologize for the unclear wording. It is easy to drag the thumb of the scrollbar such that end of buffer is shown in the first line of the window. This means that the window is (nearly) empty. But I would prefer that it would be easy to drag the thumb of the scrollbar such that end of buffer is shown in the *last* line of the window. IMVHO that's a more interesting position to scroll to. The big problem is: how to make it *easy* to scroll end of buffer to the last window line, but *possible* to scroll end of buffer to any other window line, including the first? -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
