Re: How to achieve desired automatic scrolling behavior

I'm asking about two things, but I'll focus on the first. The simplest way
to describe it: if a command moves point by line off screen, I want to
scroll one line and if point moves more than that off screen, I want to
recenter point.

One would think scroll-conservatively==1 would fit the bill, but it doesn't
when lines wrap. If I arrow down (actually: Evil's j command) I'm fine
until I hit a line that wraps visually, then I get an undesired recenter.
This makes scroll-conservatively==1 practically useless when lines wrap
visually.

Another approach I tried, which might actually give better edge case
behavior* if it worked:
  Customize scroll-conservatively to 0
  Advise line-move:
    (defadvice line-move (around my-advice-line-move activate)
      (let ((scroll-conservatively 101))
        ad-do-it))

That doesn't work; moving by lines has scroll-conservatively==0 behavior.

* eg if I search on a term and the next search term is in the line just
below what's visible.
