Hi there,

I found some posts on the web to that issue already but wondered if
there's a real good solution for my problem:

When I move down the cursor to a new page it sometimes "centers" to
the middle of the screen like when I would press CTRL-L. I'm using
viper for moving arround (hjkl-keys).
I find this quite annoying and wonder howto fix this. I played arround
with some of the scroll-vars but couldn't find the right one yet. I
also tried scroll-in-place.el and next-sceen-line.el but both act
weird in some situations (like next-screen-line still scrolling down
even if EOF is reached already).

Hope someone can help...

greetings,

markus

I think what you want is scroll-step and/or scroll-conservatively.
I don't know if viper respects these, but I can't think of a good
reason it shouldn't/wouldn't, either.

If you could better describe the "weird" behavior that you see with
`scroll-in-place', perhaps I could diagnose the problem and/or explain what
you're seeing.

Note that `scroll-in-place' does not change the behavior of the `next-line' and
`previous-line' commands (keys like C-n, C-p, up-arrow, and down-arrow).  It
only changes the behavior of scrolling commands (keys like C-v, M-v, page-up,
and page-down).

Seeing point (i.e., the cursor) jump to the center of a window is usually a
result of line motion commands, not of scrolling commands.

Eric.

This works for me:

(setq scroll-step 1)
(setq scroll-conservatively 9999)

(setq next-line-add-newlines nil)

should do the trick.
