I've been using for years Mikael Sj=F6din's pager.el (available at http://user.it.uu.se/~mic/pager.el). It's a tiny module, just five short functions, and its main advantage is that allows you to do page-down/page-up and the cursor is back to where it was, column and all (i.e., it has sort of a `temporary-goal-column', just for paging and scrolling). That's much more intuitive to me that cursor going always to the beginning of line. It also has "line scrolling" functions. So the comment/question is: could this functionality (not necessarily pager.el) be included in Emacs, or it is already there and I missed it? (Note: currently, the line scrolling functions of the pager.el available on the website do not work; they move the cursor *and* scroll the buffer; but the fix is trivial). --=20 /L/e/k/t/u
