Unfortunately for you, they may never do this because it conflicts with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. "Pressing Page Up or Page Down scrolls the document up or down one page. If an entire page can’t be displayed in the window, these keys first scroll incrementally up or down, until the top or bottom of the page is visible, before scrolling to the next page. These keys should also work in scrolling lists. If the beginning or end of the document is reached, pressing Page Up or Page Down produces a system alert sound. Pressing the Page Up or Page Down key has no effect on the location of the insertion point or selected data." http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGUserInput/XHIGUserInput.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
