Hi Fabi, Actually I think the Emacs-like behaviour is much more "natural" than the current center-scrolling. What I don't like about the current center-scrolling is that there area couple of lines in the window that are "inacessible" to the cursor which is counter-intuitive from a GUI-design prespective. With Emacs-like scrolling all the lines window are acessible to the cursor, it's just that the scrolling occurs half-a-page at a time. This really is very easy to get used to, and given the large popularity of Emacs editor in the Un*x world probabily a good design choice. Anyway my suggestion is for Emacs-like scrolling to replace center-scrolling, but leave the default one-line at a time for those who prefer it.
