As long as I didn't reach the start or end of the buffer, I'd like to see a simple up or down arrow. At start or end you can display a horizontal bar. I'd also be interested in vertical widgets signaling horizontal limits (line length resp. fill-columns); as long as you use monospaced fonts such a feature isn't that important (you can display the current column in the modeline), but when it comes to proportional fonts and enriched mode a ruler would be handy. -- | ,__o http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | _-\_<, ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home) | (*)/'(*)
