Moving line to top

Moving line to top

[Stefan Bienert]

Hi there,

I'm searching for the command/ shortcut to scroll the line where point
is up to the top of buffer. What I am trying to do is, moving the buffer
so that the heading of a chapter is at the upper border of the window.

Any ideas?

greetings,

Stefan

Use GNU Emacs 23 and press on that line C-l C-l.

So there is not a chance having this in Emacs 22?
I'm using Gentoo Linux and there Emacs 23 is not in the stable branch.
(as far as I know there's still a problem with multitty and gtk).

greetings,

Stefan

There's a big beautiful chance, as Drew said above, put this file in
your site-lisp directory:

If you don't have Emacs 23, you can get the code (`recenter-top-bottom') here:

Or C-0 C-l on any version (released in this millennium).

Thanks a lot! This will do until Emacs-23 reaches Gentoo!

Note that C-l, if given a numeric argument, will scroll the current line
to that line in the window, with 0 being the top line and -1 being the
bottom line (which is also occasionally useful).

(With no argument C-l scrolls to the center line of the window, as you
know.  Emacs-23 has added the C-l C-l and C-l C-l C-l hacks.)
