Re: How to scroll while keeping the position of the point with respect to the text?

[Ekkehard Görlach]

Hi,

I have 

(global-set-key [M-up] 
 (lambda() (interactive) (scroll-down 1) (previous-line 1)))
(global-set-key [M-down] 
 (lambda() (interactive) (scroll-up 1) (next-line 1)))
(global-set-key [S-up] 
 (lambda() (interactive) (scroll-up 1)))
(global-set-key [S-down] 
 (lambda() (interactive) (scroll-down 1)))

in my .emacs. Thus I could use Shift-up/down to scroll and keep the
position of the point wrt the text (Ithink that was what you were
looking for) or use M-up/down to scroll the text underneath the point.
