Hi François,

   Keys them-selfs work fine (I am using fn-Up/Down combinations on
Mac keyboard). But default editor action is to just scroll page up or
down without moving cursor up or down - that would be fine is the was
other combination of keys that will scroll text along with moving
cursor position.

   I am guessing Option+Up/Down was intend to be used in that way but
it does not work as expected: instead of jumping one page up/down and
_keeping_ relative screen position of cursor it move cursor to the
very top line or to the very bottom line. But this is a really very
bad move: as user I almost _never_ need my cursor on top line of
screen or on last line of screen - because for editing I need to see
context of editing area and having cursor or top or bottom line
effectively hide half of the context. So if I press say Option+Up (two
times btw because first will just move to top line, and only second
one will scroll text) - I most likely will need to move cursor at
least few lines down before I can edit anything. So in the end I will
have to press at least 5-6 keys just to jump to previous page and
start editing. Please note that 99.9% of other text editors have this
operation bind to just one key press, including Apple standard
TextEdit and Pages (fn+option+up/down will trigger that action). So
from user perspective this functionality is clearly broken in BBEdit.

   Thanks,

Erni.
