cua-mode clobbers S-<cursor>

cua-mode clobbers S-<cursor>

[Kai Großjohann]

I think I might like cua-mode a lot.  Alas, I have my own bindings
for S-<up> and S-<down> (they scroll by one line), which I need to
move elsewhere.  Alas, I can't think of another nicely mnemonic
keybinding for them.

Suggestions?

Oh, it should be somewhere in the cursor keys region; I already have
other bindings C-S-j and C-S-k for those cases where my hand is near
the home row.

Hmm, now I'm intrigued as to what <up> and <down> do.  Scroll by
page?

If you don't use numlock, you might find that you can use
<kp-{up,down}>, although they're a bit far away.

<up> and <down> do like C-p and C-n, respectively.

But maybe I could use C-<prior> and C-<next>, those are bound to
scroll-right and scroll-left by default; I only use these commands
once in a blue moon...

Yeah, too far away I think.

Do you mean then that you scroll the window up and down by one line,
but the cursor stays the on the same line?  If so, I have something
similar (I'd be interested to see yours), and I bind them to
<kp-subtract> and <kp-add>.  I know they're not necessarily next to
the cursor keys as you asked for, but they are quite easy to find for
me, as they are on the corner of the keyboard.

Obviously, I don't do a lot of number crunching, as those keys are now
useless unless overridden (as they are in calculator-mode).

In case anyone's interested, here's my version:

(defun scroll-in-place (scroll-up)
  "Scroll window up (or down) without moving point (if possible).

SCROLL-Up is non-nil to scroll up one line, nil to scroll down."
  (interactive)
  (let ((pos (point))
		(col (current-column))
		(up-or-down (if scroll-up 1 -1)))
	(scroll-up up-or-down)
	(if (pos-visible-in-window-p pos)
		(goto-char pos)
	  (if (or (eq last-command 'next-line)
			  (eq last-command 'previous-line))
		  (move-to-column temporary-goal-column)
		(move-to-column col)
		(setq temporary-goal-column col))
	  (setq this-command 'next-line))))

No, scroll-down-one-line is just like (scroll-down 1).  Works for me...
