Description Scott Rutledge CLA 2002-07-10 11:30:36 EDT 
There should be shortcuts for navigating code in a 'smart' fashion. This would be similar to the 
current 'Expand Selection' shortcuts, but would simply move the cursor instead of changing the 
selection. This would allow faster and more fine grained navigation than the current keyboard-
only techniques: next/prev line, pgup/pgdown, etc...

In particular, I'd find it useful to 
be able to jump to the top or bottom of the current method/block/expression. Or if I'm already and 
the top or bottom, jump to the previous/next one.
