I have just installed a patch which should improve on this behaviour. Now the cursor is positioned nearer to the right margin when jumping to the end of a long line (C-e), rather than centering the cursor as is usually done when hscrolling. Note that my fix only applies to the default hscroll settings; if you have modified the hscroll parameters, your setting still apply. > > From: Dan Jacobson > Subject: pin the right edge of the text to the right edge of the monitor > To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org > Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 09:03:24 +0800 > > Gentlemen, do > $ perl -wle "for (1..50){print 'z' x $((${COLUMNS-99}+10))}" > wide_file > #I.e. make a file with lines longer than your monitor can handle without wrapping. > $ emacs -q --no-site-file wide_file > M-x toggle-truncate-lines > C-e or C-x < > Note how there is tons of space wasted as there is no way to pin the > right edge of the text to the right edge of the monitor. > A C-a gets the left edge of the text nicely fixed to the left edge of > the monitor, but no consideration is given to us right-wingers. -- Kim F.
