I'm a lurker on this list (hoping to someday contribute), but more than
that, I'm a User.  I also tell everyone I know to use AbiWord, install it
on every computer I'm asked to set up (my mom and aunt both love it).  That
said, I really don't like this move view but not cursor behavior.  Bugs me
everytime I catch it.

Could we make it an option in Prefs or something?

"Use new/old page up/ page down behavior"

Seems feasible

Although, alt+pgup/pgdn works as well.


Btw, Fantastic work on this project.  Never ceases to amaze me.  I remember
a two years ago writing a term paper that was due in an hour on AbiWord
.7.something... and it crashed... and I just about freaked out.  It's
definitly come a long way

Regards,
Bill
