That's what I want. Are you sure you don't want a keystroke that doesn't involve moving your hands from typing position? :) Like M-i and M-k for scrolling a single line without moving point?

Thanks, I don't know because I don't use the mouse, but I scroll without moving point (unless scrolling scrolls a whole screen of lines), probably you can use exactly the same, binding the mouse to it. But try it keyboard-only first, see if you like it. Here is the scroll stuff, I have M-i and M-k to scroll-up-1 and scroll-down-1: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/scroll.el -- underground experts united
