Just one remark, perhaps to ease communication. When you say "stay fixed",
you mean *relative to the window* and not *relative to the buffer* (in
other words, to the underlying text), right?

It took me a while to realize that. That's because the mental model of
an Emacs person seems to be more: the buffer (i.e. the "text") is fixed,
and point (i.e. the cursor) and window (i.e. the viewport, through which
you look at the text), both move relative to it.

Seen from that perspective, you want to "move" point along with "window",
right?
