Great, thanks! The first four are (part of) what I'm looking for, and I assume I can remap them to the regular keys if I want. It's very unfortunate that scroll up/down doesn't keep the insertion point intact (or have an alternative), as I use that all the time. To others who mentioned something along the lines, this really isn't Windows vs Mac behavior (if I hadn't said I was a switcher I doubt it would have come up :) ). There are Windows editors that *allow* this behavior, though I can't think of any where it's the default. (I know there are some, because I've encountered them in testing over the years, but it always threw me, just as it did here.) It's purely a behavioral thing — some people always want their insertion point on-screen, some people don't. I can't for the life of me understand the latter (it violates "least surprise" in a variety of ways, IMO), and they can't for the life of them understand the former. :) Which is why I think (and will now suggest officially via other means) it should be an *option*. Nor do I see that this violates anything in the HIG; the quoted section above says nothing about the insertion point, merely about the behavior of the PageUp/Down keys, which I am not asking to be any different than they are right now. I do (now) see the keys above listed in the manual, but I don't see any indication in the manual that the behavior is different than regular PageUp/Down, e.g., or that the insertion point is involved, etc. So I hope I can be forgiven for not figuring that out on my own. :) Again, thanks to everyone that responded, I appreciate your taking the time to help a newbie! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
