Description François Armand CLA 2017-12-15 04:44:06 EST 
Hello, 

Vim has a scrolloff option that allows to always see N lines after/before cursor in editor (http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'scrolloff')

So for example, when you move the cursor down, the editor view will start scrolling when the cursor reaches N lines before the last one, and so you can start editing view some context. 

Also very useful when you paste a whole line and you can avoid to scroll down, oups I went to much down, move the cursor up again...
