Description M8R-2mocdl

2009-09-13 08:57:46 EDT

User-Agent:       Opera/9.64 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.1.1
Build Identifier: I20090611-1540

Every time you edit something at the top/bottom of your editor window, you have to scroll up/down to see what happens before/after this line.

If the current line would just stay vertically centered, you would always see whats before and after the line you are editing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try it with this Emacs mode:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/centered-cursor-mode.el

put that in .emacs:
(and (load "centered-cursor-mode.el")
     (require 'centered-cursor-mode)
     (global-centered-cursor-mode +1))



I tried to emulate this behavior with Keybindings, but it doesn't work: If I bind "Down" to "Scroll Line Down", the (text)cursor doesn't move anymore.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
