How to make the current cursor line top of the screen

Post by mmihajlovic »

How can I make the current line where the cursor is at to be my top or bottom line of the screen, without cursor changing its position. I know that I can scroll up or down line at the time while cursor retains its position but I am lookung to do the move with a single keystroke (macro assignment). I believe that old BRIEF had that with <ctrl- T> and <ctrl-B>

When the Scroll Lock key is on, the Page Up/Down keys behave in the same way as when you scroll with the mouse on the scroll bar - i.e. the cursor is not moved. You can then quickly get back to a known position in the document by pressing one of the arrow keys.

I hope this helps.

Alt+Up and Alt+Down scroll the page while the cursor stays on the same line number.

Configure > Preferences > Keyboard > Cursor has some things that might help, but I'm thinking a third-party macro is required to do exactly what you want....
