David, C-v is how you scroll one-page-at-a-time, so with numerical arguments ( "C-u 1" [ or "Cu -1" ] ), here is how I would do it: C-u 1 C-v for "up", and C-u -1 C-v for "down" . I don't know *any* lisp, so if I found myself wanting to do this a lot, I would probably create a macro and setup a key-binding. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

You can also use M-v to scroll up. And C-M-v to scroll down the next buffer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I was also slightly suprised when reading it that this had never irritated me. But then I realised what I do: Before starting to scroll, I hit C-Space to set a mark. Then I wander round the file to my hearts content, not even necessarily returning to where I started before hitting C-u C-Space and being back and with point "unmoved". Maybe this is a useful different way of solving your problem. Rupert [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 314 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
